Thanks! I'll try to be persistent. It would be interesting to try to build his serial number database on, um, say, ah, cuda's website, or something.

Moki, the parts are newer but I think that the frame may be old. The parts aren't even that new, but they are in the modern venue. I had to do extensive restoration to the shifters and derailleurs before I could stand to use 'em. Weird how thrashed they were, considering that they are about five years old. Maybe they came off of a cross bike or something. But they met the key criteria...they were within my budget.
