Thx. It is a size 58 frame. I do not have the frame built up yet and I doubt whether it will happen anywhere soon. Currently busy with finishing a RIH (531 butted). For the SCi build I do have following specs in mind: Sachs New Success and Syncros Altura stem and post. A distributer in Europe used to spec, show and advertise the Kestrels with Syncros parts. Looks classy. Sachs New Success is period correct and distinctive, but what I am not entirely happy with is that it is a bit heavy kit. Maybe a bit too heavy for a frame they put so much effort in to bring the weight down.

Kestrel was, still is, pretty good value in frames from then to now.

1992 Giant Cadex
Here's my Cadex...has Shimano 600 components and a aero carbon fork. It's disassembled right now. A great bike to ride.
