As BlankCrows says, there is not a lot of info floating around on these. The best I've seen is the catalogs that are here: http://bulgier.net/pics/bike/Catalogs/

Not much, but something.

When BlankCrows found the bike, he called me with it in hand so I could Google it before purchase. I found next to nothing, and almost passed on the deal because of it. Then, I came to my senses and gave him the green light.

FWIW, I LOVE your frame, and wish I could find one like it for me! Question: Does it take a braze-on FD, and is there a model designation anywhere? Also, is the BB shell Cinelli?
