This is a good example of a Super Corsa frame with Tour de France decals on the downtube. This looks like a 1971 to 1973 bike.

The frame has Campy dropouts and old Campy Gran Sport derailleurs from the late 1960s. Someone probably replaced the original Simplex Criterium derailleurs with these older model Campy ones.

The Stronglight 93 cranks, Lyotard 460D pedals, Campy Nuovo Tipo hubs, straight aluminum tube seatpost and cheap "ass hatchet" saddle all indicate that it's a TdF.
