Some nice components too - what looks to be a round C-Record seatpost, Campy socket headed seat binder nut and bolt, Cinelli XA stem and a couple of Elite Ciussi Inox tubular stainless steel bottle cages.
It was delivered yesterday, and was packaged well. no shipping damage.
And it is a bit smaller than 58cm, about 57cm seat tube, I need to measure the top tube carefully to see if it's also 57cm.
DD was correct from the beginning, the frame has been refinished, a logo trademark is on the left chain stay, Fresh Frame Grade A Finish. It seems like a very nice refinish to me, and I like the blue pearl, I haven't seen it outside in the daytime.
Patented 84 on the derailleur with Ti bolts, and alloy headset, not a Ti BB, or replaced. Some drivetrain wear, but maintained and not ruined, chain is replaced. The BB shell is the same as the orange type in the commercial photo.
I moved the QR enough to see part of the SLX stamped into dropout. It will need fresh grease, brake cables, tires, the wheels seem good.
