Frame geometry is 74.5 degrees parallel, and there is only a righthand downtube shifter boss, suggesting that the frame was built exclusively for TTs, not a pastime that I have engaged in for about 15 years, nor ever shown any aptitude for.
On the positive side, it is as feathery light as you would expect of a 531SL frame, and devoid of rust and dings. Even the Campagnolo Nuovo Record Pista headset seems to be useable.
A previous owner has used a pair of clamp-on shiftlevers, and rigged up a front derailler cable guide under the BB, and being no latter day Alf Engers I will do the same.

Maybe you are just going to have to own a TT bike...after all, this is the second one to try and enter your stable (witcomb=#1)
Indeed. The Spousal Unit has already commented on the similarity.
Owning a TT bike is one thing, but using it for it's designed purpose is highly unlikely.
