ilikebikes: haha, thanks!

pastorbob: its too bad about the decals! I will ride it for awhile without a full repaint since weather is getting nicer, though the pocket book is thinning! Seriously though, I'm not all that familiar with Sugino or Gipiemme; are they worthy enough to sell if I have no immediate need for them? Or should I hold onto them for a bit? I'm probably going to keep the suntour superbe pro FD because I cannot get the band off!

texastwister: the seller did not mention it was a repaint, but she also thought it was a mid 70's model. The lack of nervex lugs helped to solve that mystery quickly. It was a good price, not a cheap, cheap, cheap price. BUT it was my fit and the type I was in the market for, so the stars were in place!
