I had to take the dogs to the groomer this am and that means driving by Performance Bike, PL. I met a teen boy and his dad who had just picked up a repalcement bike for one that was totalled meeting a car. It was serial #5115 65 which a friend of the boy had found. Mediocre green paint job, single pivot brakes, new 9 spd 105 brifters, derailers, cranks. BIG frame--standover looked to be =/+ than my 90cm PBH though I did not straddloe the bike.
Unfortunately the fork was a Pricipia carbon that may or may not be the correct specs for the bike. He was getting the cleats adjusted on his new shoes before going on his maiden voyage and he was soooooo excited that I liked his "new" bike too. Nice lad.
He thought it was ca. 1974. Could be-- Small tubes, top cable guides, fender eyelets, Cinelli BB.
Whaddaya know E-Richie?
