It's been stripped and painted over, so I can't say for sure what it is, but it came with:
Shimano 105 1050 groupset
Shimano 105 headset
Shimano 105 crankset with 2x Biopace oval rings
Araya 700c rims and 105 hubs
The seat tube (not the BB) has the serial number stamped on the bottom part - GS71399
The fork (hopefully it's the original one) has "Ishiwata" stamped on the steerer tube
Any information would be very much appreciated!
Any kangaroos on the fork crown? If there is one that would be a dead give away. But not all have them. Mine doesn't, which makes me sad. Is there a model name on the frame?
