Great find, by the look of the rims it seems it has not been used at all. I suppose this the only way to get people excited about a Shimano 105 equipped bike in this forum :wink:

Nice bike. One of my buddies back when I started racing had one in yellow and I always admired it.

If those are Most Ewiwa [spelling?] tyres, I would recommend changing them quickly. I had a pair which punctured every 5 minutes and didn't grip in the wet. I quickly downgraded them to commuting only. After falling off twice in a month in the wet (and other than that I fall off maybe once every 5 years) I cut them into bits and threw them away.
