Found this AD Inter-10 for a decent price. It was dark, so I couldn't see the full extent of the paint damage. A shame, as it is a very attractive paint scheme, complete with pinstriping, lug accents, chromed fork crown, fork ends and dropouts.

I was able to ride it a short distance (despite it's poor mechanical condition), and it felt nice and smooth. I've been looking for a sport touring frame with longish chainstays and a stable fork rake, and this fits the bill. It also has a longer top tube than most frames I've found, which is perfect for my long torso. To add to the benefits, it looks like it is full Reynolds butted 531. I'm certain the main tubes and fork are 531, and it seems the stays are, but I could be wrong.

Does anyone know the age of this bike (I'm guessing mid 70s), and possibly the BB threading? I think the SN on the BB is 5604521. I'm a little worried as there is obvious rust coming from between the bottom bracket shell and cups, but at least it isn't bubbling terribly. I found date codes on the Shimano components, but they don't match up with date codes I've found online (ZL and ZH). I'm pretty sure the components aren't 2001 vintage!

Also, does the fork look tweaked to anyone? The stem contacts the headset toward the front of the bike, with a small gap toward the rear. I can't really see any gap at the bottom part of the headset assembly as I haven't disassembled the bike.

I'm partially cursing myself for picking up this rust bucket rather than waiting for something similar in better shape. But it's such a unique bike, and I seem to have bike adoption syndrome. I'm considering painting it inexpensively with a solid color and building it up as my main ride. However, the lack of ANY braze-ons is a little disconcerting. If I had the money, I'd restore the paint to look original, but that seems overkill on a mid-level bike. Oh well, add it to my collection of need-to-be-painted bikes.
