Molk cycle

[Old Novice]

I’ve recently purchased a Molk cycle and have no idea what the bike is, where or when it was manufactured or if it significant in any way.

Whilst the down tube has Molk emblazoned on it in pink, the head stock has a ‘Cycles M Stans’ transfer. The cross bar has a transfer, ‘Syntace – The shape of victory – Jo Klieber, Germany’

Specifications:

Frame
Campagnolia with adjustable rear drop outs, a lug for the Campagnolia front changer on the seat tube and all control cables running through the frame tubes. The rear forks and front forks are chromed.

Handlebars
Cinelli Criterium 665-40 with pink cushion tape

Handelbar Stem
Cinelli with Molk logo on handlebar clamp

Brake levers
Campagnolia with white rubber covers. Cables exit internally

Head set
Campagnolia Brev-Int at top and bottom

Brakes
Pair of Campagnolia Delta – with rear brake attached to the inside of the frame?

Wheels
Shimano Dura-Ace quick release hubs, chrome spokes and Mavic GP4 rims

Seat & Stem
Campagnolia stem
Sella Itallia Flite Titanium seat

Chain-set
Campagnolia Brev 53T and 39Tchain rings
170 9/16” x 20 on pedal crank

Pedals
Campagnolia for cycle shoe plates

Gears
8 rear sprockets using Campagnolia changer
Campagnolia front changer
Campagnolia gear levers with indents for each gear attached to the down tube

The bike looks very original and whilst I’ve cleaned it it remains untouched. It has both original bottle carrier and tyre pump.

Can anyone help my regarding it’s likely provenance, value and nationality?

Radsport Tomas Molk is a bike shop in Stans, in the middle of Switzerland.

If the components are original, circa 1990 would be a plausible date.

Let's have some pictures then, eh.

I'm struggling to up-load any pictures because they are too big to be accepted by the site which has a maximum of 510KB!

Dunno what to do now...!

You could try uploading them to a picture hosting site like imgur.com or tinypic.com and posting the links here, or re-size the pictures and try again. Failing that, PM me for my e-mail address and I can upload them to my flickr account. It sounds like a very nice bike. The quality of workmanship in the links I posted previously looks excellent.
