Chicago Al,
Thanks! That all makes a lot of sense. Yes, the seller was from Austria (watching the tracking information was a nail biter). That catalog was really cool I loved the one mountain bike with the elevated chain stay. That reminds me of the Nishiki Alien and Ariel, and the drool worthy Yeti Ultimate. Very cool. Thanks so much!
Bianchigirll,
There is a seller currently listing 8 58cm frames identical to my bike, and yes he is from Italy, but my bike came as a complete built up bike. The parts are a complete and brand new Ole set, and I have played around with parting out the bike becuase it is so complete and in perfect condition. This truly is one of those "new" new old stock finds. I'm glad to hear you think its a good value for what I paid, I had a limit of very close to what I spent and I just couldn't find any current bike on the market with any character in my opinion that was within my price range. I know the technology isn't as light as a current road bike, but that's ok I don't mind.
RoboIsGod and twolve,
Thank you!
