That was a fantastic deal. Congratulations (no cops)!
Yeah, what he said.
H=710
2=22.5" frame size
F=June, month the frame was serialized
9=1979
A very nice bike at that price. Here's the brochure from 1979 which sorts out the 700-series a bit by component level; based on the Campy bits yours could be either a 737 or 738 or it could be a 710 frame sold to a lbs for build-up. It should be 531 tubing with Campagnolo dropouts, but they did kind of mix things up back then. My 79 510 is Ishiwata 022 with Campy dropouts and a 26.8 seatpost size which supposedly was used only in 1977. Congratulations you lucky dog. And will you please hurry up and get those pictures posted!!
