any info?
I saved this bike and liked it because it was light weight and seemed like a good bike. I think I am ready to sell and wanted some information because I know NOTHING about bikes. It has dia compe brakes, mavic rims, sakae custom royal champion handle, sun tour cyclone..., campagnolo ...., shimano....
Any information would be appreciated....

That mish-mosh of components probably never came on a bike, so the previous owner(s) have changed the bike over time.
We need more close-up shots of the frame to guess what it is.

there are not any decals or marking son the frame of the bike itself. There is only a serial number on the bottom. It is ds14992. I haven't been able to find any information about the serial number either. On the very front of the bike it appears that there was a square shaped decal at one time but it is no longer there.

Still, if you post pictures of the frame, taken from up close, we might be able to discern a thing or two.

Pictures of components really don't help much. A bicycle is like an erector set. You can bolt just about any components onto almost any frame. So those same components could be on a $25 bike, or a $300 bike. Close-ups of frame, lugs, drop-outs and maybe someone will have some ideas.
What is the size of the seat post? That would give some clues to tubing.
Lugs do not look very distinctive, so I am not sure if anyone will be able to guess this one.

Tell us the seat post size, too (probably marked on it; take it our and you'll see).
Show us photos of the lugs, fork crown, BB, dropouts, head badge shadow, etc.
See if you can see any numbers on the sides of the BB cups.
