That is definitely a helpful link. Thank you very much! :)
That is one gorgeous bike!
There are definitely differences between the bikes, with his having been repainted and featuring a lower class bottom bracket and rims that are not period correct.I don't know if it ever sold, either and I doubt it's very easy to sell bikes in that price range.
The paint that fades into the chrome on the rear stays and the internal brake routing is a definite highlight. I wonder how it was managed in the region of the bottom bracket. If you review the HD pictures in the album here: http://imgur.com/a/34H0y
you can clearly see how to cable for the front derailleur exits the frame above the bottom bracket lug. It somehow needed to be re-routed in and or around the bottom bracket but I don't understand how as of yet.Bike theft is a huge issue here as the used bike market is a blooming business. Crime is not as uncommon here as one would like to believe, especially when it comes to bikes .. sadly :/
Thanks again for the valuable input !

I know it's not the same frame, but it is the same era and groupset. I know it went on to eBay, but don't know if it ended up getting sold or not? But it seems it is similarly priced as your appraisal, but wonder how easy it is to sell bikes in that price range?
I do love the internal gear cabling. Interesting to hear that bike theft is a a big issue in Switzerland.
