Distinguishing features

This a tri-athlon / cyclo-cross bike, not a true road bike. It is no longer in production and rare enough that I'd be willing to bet the only one like it in Seattle. The frame, crank, brakes, shifters, headset/handlebars and seat-post are original - everything else has been replaced with newer equipment (see below for details.)
