Mystery Frame with Campagnolo components
Frame has " A D " stamped into the rear forks.. Sell said it was from Eastern Europe.. Couldn't find anything.
Looks like a respray steel frame.
S/N 5833012
Front and rear dropouts Campagnolo.
Derailleurs, brakes calipers, crank, headset, shifters, hubs all Campagnolo
Sugino seat post (why?) Seat also looks like Sugino.
Brake Levers Dia Compe
Gum Hoods look original Diam comp
Skewers Shimano
Pedals unknown look like a inexpensive aluminum swap in.
Thanks in Advance for your
Joe

A previous owner got tired of dealing with the two bolt CampI Micro adjust post.

Looks like this is the A-D Superleicht , the model below the Ultima...Might have overpaid at $400...lol
any idea if those pedals are worth keeping ? No markings

Do they work? They would be useful if you got a bike with cheap plastic pedals.

Some of the mail-order houses were selling Austro-Daimler bare frames like this one in the early 1980's for around $200. The buyer could outfit it with whatever he wanted. I think they were Reynolds 531 tubes. They built up into pretty good rides. A-D also sold a line of complete bikes. The Ultimas were their top of the line; all of them I saw were a candy purple color.

I think this is an Ultima Superleicht... Except that the nuovo record rear derailleur
instead of Super Record and can't figure out what the original color was..
Austro Daimler, Scott Ryder's Ultima SL
btw the rear derailleur will not stay on anything but the smallest freewheel cog... Any ideas?

They are out of place, like the BMX pedals and riser bars you sometimes see on otherwise NJS-equipped hipster fixed gear bikes. Mid- to high-end pedals with toeclips, or decent clipless pedals if you prefer, would be much more consistent with that bike's intended use.

with a solid BB shell (no slots milled in that, right? hard to tell in such a dark pic), I doubt that it's either an Ultima or a Superleight, as all of those I've seen have slots cut (and some have HUGE slots cut) down there. Plus they usually have holes drilled in the contact surface of the rear dropouts, but "features are subject to change"...If the frame is around an '82, there was a "Starleight" model below the Superleight in '82, and an "SL" below that, not sure what the BB shells of those models looked like, the catalog scans don't show that feature.

Pedals look a little like Sakae Lowfats?
