Nice looking bike, and I think that's the same tube sticker on the frame I have. I can only assume "P.G." means plain gauge? It also looks like the same brakes and levers. Is the rear deraileur a Shimano AX or something like that? Are those 27 inch wheels, or is converted to 700? I put a set of 700 wheels in the frame I have and the stock Dia-Compe brakes will still reach. I was able to fit in 32mm tires and I think there's room for 35s. If this bike 'works' it might replace a Trek XO-1 I use for communting/gravel road riding.
