That kind of looks the configuration of my last purchase-
high riser bars, thumb shifters on mine, exchanged the rims for 27" from tubulars... forgetful saddle.

i swapped the rims to 700c clinchers as the 27's had way too short spokes... really surprised the nipples were not breaking. ( was done by a bike shop!)
now the spokes fully engage.

other weird item was Campagnolo pedals were crammed in 2/3 of the way into French threaded cranks. Fixed that with French pedals. Amazing!

i probably paid top of the market for what it was, but it was the same year, color, model, batch ( just 8 s/n digits away ) from my first road bike I purchased in 1972, in a better size even. I bought originally to "grow into it"
little did I know I was close to max height.
