WOW! Great deal! Lucky you! Very Happy

It passes the Chas. test!!!

The brake blocks aren't Campy originals and the large chainring is a Nuovo Record not the original Super Record.

Clean it up, repack the bearings, change the cables and ride it! Cool

Change nothing. Great bike that is difficult to make better. Only a modern sram chain and modern cables will do anything to this excellent bike.
