Serial # WG10773 on the bottom bracket. I acquired the bike from the original owner who used it as a triathlon bike. Per him he rebuilt the bike twice. When I acquired the bike it had :
Shimano Exage Sport components.
Aero Brake levers with LI code
Crank set with LH code
Square taper bottom bracket
Rd code L J
Fd code A450
Sakae seat post stamped 87
Front hub Sansin code DH, rim Araya 700c alloy
Rear hub Malliard 21st week of 89, rim malliard 700c alloy
Handlebars and Stem = Winpista
Biopace chain rings 52/42
Shifters = downtube indexed or friction code A450
Headset Hatta Vesta, Japan
Shimano 6 speed freewheel MF Z012
Dropouts: update next time I remove a wheel.

After I updated to Ultegra 6500 and Mavic Aksium wheels the bikes weight is now 20.3 lbs. I have considered dumping the old seatpost and B17 to decrease the weight even more but for now it is what it is. Lp
Than-you for posting. The original componets are so late in the 1987 year that it is almost certainly a 1988 model. Do you know the model name? I'm thinking an Olympic?
