Certainly looks like the same bike but I think he has even less info than me on it! He's written it has vbrakes.
I am not disappointed with the frame but because he has called it a randonneur I had mistaken it for the later red randonner but can see that they are not the same.
I have a triple RX100 groupset to put on it, which includes RX100 wheels and RSX shifters. I also splashed out on some BR-R500 canti brakes. I had a 1991 randonneur and the brakes were pretty terrible, so I had upgraded to these before and they were really superb in all conditions.
To top off the build I have bought a Brooks B17 Special, which is the one with copper rails and large rivits.
So all in all I think it will build up to a nice touring bike, I just wish I had more info on it!
