Trying to determine if my Miele Condor is stock or been upgraded
Hopefully its okay to post this here. I already posted this article in Classic and Vintage, lots of views but no replies. So I thought this might be the better place to ask for assistance so here I am.
Looking for some expertise in confirming if my Miele Condor is original as assembled or if its been upgraded.
Here's a run down on the parts I've documented on my bike:
13 Volte Campione Del Mondo handle bar
Miele Front and Rear quick release side pull brakes
Shimmano Light Action SIS shifters
Velo Chromoly Seat
Sugino VP 130 Crank
Shimmano Front derailleur
Shimmano Light Action Rear Derailleur
Miele Ambrosio Front & Rear wheels with Durex label
Panaracer Pasela tour guard Kevlar front and rear tires
Sansin 5345 formula front & rear hubs
HTI-47 pedals
Colour scheme on this bike is red head tube,front forks,first few inches of the top and down tubes. The rest of the frame is pearl white. My bike looks like the one in this picture

Rode this bike a few times this past week. Good, nimble bike with great pick up. Shifts like a dream. Needs to be cleaned and a proper once over to make sure there's nothing wrong. No rust been sitting in storage for years but was headed to the dump.
I rescued it from that fate over five years ago.
Now my third bike. Thinking about redoing the bar tape in a dark red or a red closer to the colour on the frame to set it off. Also considering adding safety brake levers.

Im not much of an expert but nothing seems non original or matching other than the stem and saddle.
