I'm not entirely sure what is original to the bike, but when it bought it it was equipped with ALPS handlebars, steel Araya rims w/ Miyata 27 x 1/2 inch tires, shimano stem shifters, a shimano (skylark?) rear derailleur along with a nondescript shimano front derailleur, takagi crank arms, and a shimano 5 speed freewheel (I think with twisty teeth). It has center pull brakes, but I can't tell the make. The frame has no braze-ons, but does have eyelets for fenders. That's all I got!
