This bike has been listed for at least 3yrs. I vaguely remember reaching out to the seller when I was looking at Canadian bikes. Appears it's for sale, but not for sale.

Very tempted. I've been looking for the Superbe stamped version of this stem for a couple of years. They seem to get astronomical prices. Can I say maybe pending a stem measurement?

There are quite a few great steel frame builders not on the map but I think "classic" limited the newer brands included. I'm not sure what the exact cut-off date was, but maybe the 90s?

OK, so I don't know what I want. Ideally, perhaps a nice clean Superbe Pro group, but a Sachs New Success group may be its equal for this project. Mavic would be cool. I have a 7402 Shimano...

This is interesting, as it appears that the front would work just fine with a 700c wheel, I’m not sure about the rear. It certainly looks like it was made for a 27” back there.
