thanks for the replies, just to add some confusion, I realized that I wrote Brava, but it's a Strada. I have a tiny europa that I like the ride on, so I was aiming for a similar ride. The lister has listed it as a 1991, now. does anybody have a definite idea on the components ( I'm guessing shimano Exage or something) or tubing? I've asked the seller, but he's not at home.

on a similar note, he's said that he's away on business; he's been pretty good about responding to questions, but it's setting off alarm bells. Who lists something on ebay, and then goes out of town?
