What stand out it that the frame does not have any down tube shifter bosses but two cable guides for the bar end shifters instead. The frame should be Reynolds steel according to the seat tube sticker. The bottom bracket probably reads. Left: A. Right E 4746.
I am also including a probably original sticker of the steerer tube. Molteni is probably the color (or team?) and then 60 for the size (?) and NR or MR (?).
Any further information about this frame is appreciated. Thank you.
Very nice bike. Any chance the frame doesn't fit you and you'd like to sell?
