Were the parts "stock"? Did you purchase the bicycle new? If so, check the Nuovo Record rear derailleur for a date stamp. That should put you in the ballpark....

I did not buy the bike new, I am however only the second owner, all the parts are original Campy. The Nuovo record on the rear derailleur is stamped, 71 Very Happy Thank you I guess that answers my question.

The decals suggest early 1970's, so I would guess that bike was not assembled prior to 1971/72.

I think 73 was the last year for the silver foil decals?? (someone correct me if that's wrong) So, it probable in that 71 -73 range. You'll need to go through the catalogues page with a magnifying glass so pick the minute differences.

This tall rider thing is getting out of control! Sandman, you thought about starting a GitaneUSA basketball team?
