Bike has some heavy duty chrome top Shimano track drop outs, a Campy pista crank with 49t Campy ring, KKT Pro Ace pedals, nice Shimano BB, unknown front brake, strange Weinmann rear brake, and Campy downtube shifter with the absolute cheapest SunTour rear der I hav ever seen..... One cable stop is Campy, one SunTour. Unmarked headset, really cool Gran Comp stem, SunTour Cyclone brake levers and Windsor drop bars. Front wheel is a Normandy hub dated 76 with generic spokes and a nice Weinmann concave 700c rim, rear is an unkown alloy hub on a Rigida AL rim. So what is this? A bastard stepchild of a track bike? The bike shop sticker is from Cyclery North in Chicago, which I hear was a pretty upscale place. How old is this? Worth keeping? I normally would ride a 24" frame, but my current steed is a 1980 Super Gran Prix, which is several steps (or floors maybe?) below this.
Good for you, that's a Excellent find!
