Bianchi-screened Ofmega (Competizione?) arms and caps
Asking $22 shipped SOLD!! anywhere in the US. Higher resolution shots here: https://imgur.com/a/eyhklvJ
If I'm not mistaken these are Ofmega Competizione arms, standard thread, 170mm, can get BCD if if needed, but should also be @ Velobase. I can scrounge up some rings for a little something extra if you need them, but don't have any period-correct chainring bolts.
Would polish up nicely, Bianchi ink should rub out for a nice clean look. Shows some wear, I tried to photo the most extreme, threads are about as clean as it gets.

Right!? Hell of a deal.
Seems a great affordable option to Campy. I’ll try rubbing the branding off since they won’t be going in a Bianchi. Might even open the webs up & try my hand at drillium on a set of chainrings
Figuring bb spindle length could be a pain, but since these arms were offered late 70’s through mid 80’s, I’m wondering if they might take a 115mm spindle like Record cranks of the same period.

Branding on these is notorious for rubbing out, it's screened after anodizing. But I may have something a little better suited to what you specifically need. Will drop you a PM.

i'm using a set of these where the spider arms were factory drilled rather than just fluted - it's a really good look! and a little acetone may lift the Bianchi screening right off...

I’m not so sure I’ll want to drill the arms, but removing opening the webs up is really tempting! It’d probably be as simple as removing the bulk of the material with a drill bit just a tad narrower than the flutes, and then finishing things up with some careful filing.

Actually, A little Mother's Mag & Wheel polish makes quick business of it in a few seconds! Screening is post-ano, so there's really not much keeping it on the arm.
