Suggestions?

Hi,
I’ve been riding a gravel bike for several years now, but I’ve been thinking about getting a road bike as well. Since I don’t really want to keep swapping between road and gravel wheelsets, I’m considering getting a retro road bike instead.

However, I’m not very familiar with the components that were used back then or with vintage frames in general.

Today I came across the following listing, and the more I think about it, the harder it gets to resist buying it. 😅

Could anyone tell me a bit more about the components and the frame?
Are they any good, and is there anything in particular I should look out for?
€200 seems extremely cheap to me considering the condition and the components.
Thanks in advance and greetings from Germany!

I would guess the price is low, as has features that people don’t generally want nowadays:

• limitation to narrow tires sizes
  
• has a wonky cheap replacement stem on it
  
• has rim brakes

It’s a really nice bike and nice components. If you’re OK with rim brakes and probably max 28c tires then do it.

Thank you :)
