Yes, it's a Road Standard; I confirmed with the prev owner. 753/531, no canti bosses, no kickstand mount. It's well equipped with Phil Wood hubs on Sun CR18 rims, 105 brakes and Campy 21spd gearset. I have a Bontrager gel seat on it (that I like). I'm tempted to go Brooks; I have a Chinese-made Brooks-knockoff on my '77 Shwinn 3spd city bike. Nice and comfy after a bunch of neatsfoot oil. I picked up some brown bar tape, silver bottle cages, a mirror, and a kickstand at my LBS today. Photo shoot and riding this weekend, hopefully.
