Ding, ding, ding! We've got a winner!
I did a bit of research and got the scoop on the frame, I contacted the seller (wasnt easy) and he told me that he's an engineering student over at Drexel, he found the complete bike in the dumpster at the engineering dept at Drexel U when he first started there, he mentioned that it must have been a class project or even an entry to a contest of some sort, he has a set of tubulars that were on it and all the Campy goodies. So there you have it, more than likely built by student engineers over at Drexel. So all you guys that mentioned that the frame looks "homemade" you were partially right, as for structural integrity? I guess that depends on how well the students paid attention in class!
Thanks all for the replies.
