Split rims: front Fir high profile, rear Shimano 8 speed. Very unusual 1997 racing bike, in fact as you can see from the photos it has "handkerchief" tube joints to stiffen the frame further. Very good riding experience and very nice. Hard to find it in this particular brand blue color, the other variant was yellow. It is equipped with fully functional Shimano Sora 2x8 speed complete groupset. The frame has a few scratches from what little it has been used, but no bumps or cracks. Healthy frame. Measures 52x52 w/c.
