did you get it with a chopped belt saddle and superbe pro pedals?
That stop on the chainstay is a Shimano, should be Camp, like smaller frame. I'd like to know when all the Sun Tour stuff started to become standard equipment (including the dropouts!).
The saddle I originally had when purchased was a "belt" saddle, a modified Fuji, which broke in half on me last year during a ride, replacing with an Ideale
#80 (the '72 has an Ideale
#45 which was OE to the bike); but I believe the '74 had a Brooks Pro/B.17 on it.
The pedals were Camp Nuovo Record/Record.
I'll probably be removing 60cm bike from the inventory and build up the '72 as a "Special" with all the Camp Nuovo Record/Record components replacing the Valentino/Gran Sport/Weinmann parts. The 60cm size is a "little off", as I am 5'7" and normally ride a 52cm give or take, but after riding a 57cm for years, large frames are just fine when I set them up for my arm/leg reach. I still have an old 60cm Olmo I enjoy riding, just can't use the 172.5 cranks!
