#913 is backdated (updated with more correct parts) and cleaned up quite a bit, Campy three arm steel square taper GS? crank with Magistroni alloy chainrings, plain chrome steel bars with correct Weinmann levers and a very close to correct Campy GS rd.

This bike was covered at every mechanical intersection with petrified 60 yr old grease that had to be almost chiseled off, very scary on 60 yr old paint, didn't get it all yet but did get most of it. Found a few more cool details.

Took it to the Velocirque show, rode it about 9 mi. and it was good, love this bike.
