Thanks T-Mar. I appreciate the history lesson...Good stuff...It's Aluminum tubing, and according to the previous owner I did find out that the bike was purchased intact w/ Shimano 105 from an atlanta LBS, with the Campy post/seat an after the sale upgrade/purchase.

Was told it was 1992 ? Appreciate the info...thanks
