I agree that it appears to be a Competition GS. I also agree that they are fine bikes, I have a 1977 in black that needs a ride , so after seeing this I will pump up the tires and take it out for a ride. They are lighter than the International I think and a bit more agile , maybe not as forgiving , but a fun riding bike that can be comfy even on a longer ride.
