Thanks a lot. To be honest the paint scheme was chosen by my girlfriend since the bike has been restored for her.

Thanks for "keepin 'em on th road".
Not cheap - at least when I purchased. But improve hand comfort a lot.
I tried to keep almost everything , but some components were in a bad shape as the saddle etc, sadly the front derailleur and the campy's lever clamp are broken but when is possible i'll fit some new parts.
Interesting to see those brake hoods , i must cheeck the price.
Derailleur is campy Valentino extra (
juvela you always right!) and it perform very well , i have the same on my condorino and it works pretty good.

dull appearance of head fittings likely not due to corrosion
they may be zinc plated rather than chrome; an economy option from OFMEGA

original saddle pillar appears to have been replaced during restoration. were any markings found on it? have not before seen one similar.
