The Campy FD is interesting; there is a cable built into the clamp that attaches to the seat tube. Campy shifters are still working and usable. Wheels are un-usable. One hub it Maillard and the other I cannot identify.
I still haven't ID the frame, but also haven't have a chance to research much.
If you recognize the frame, let me know.
You mean the FD has a built-in cable stop? That's a Record FD, predating Nuovo. Pretty hard to find and used to be worth something 10 years ago; might still be.
Dumped the RD and FD in penetrating oil and hope for the best. If you plan on getting rid of the RD, let me know...I have never owned one of the Athenas and have been fascinated with it's execution: An angled
and straight parallelogram RD. Probably shifts as bad as it sounds, but hey, someone's got to find it interesting.

Hope so. This looks like a custom frame, or at least one where a framebuilder took a lot of time to get the lugs right.
