Cool- looking forward to seeing pics of one in good condition! I await new decals so I can clear-coat my repainted Valgan (it was also powder blue, which it what I repainted it).

You've probably already found these threads, but if not there's more info there-

I'm skeptical of the hierarchy of models in the former thread- Super Vitus 971, SLJ mechs, Maillard 700 hubs, etc seem like components on something a bit higher in the lineup...
Does yours have any sort of model name decal?
