Since photos don't lie, I downloaded the pic and brought it into Photoshop.
Using the measure tool, I got the distance between teeth (which should be
1/2"
in real life), both at the top and bottom of the ring, and then averaged the
two (to compensate for perspective distortion). I then did the same thing
for
the distance between bolt holes and calculated the actual distance using the
tooth pitch as a reference. The result was 76.77mm, not the 86.4 the seller
claims. This translates to a BCD of 130mm. I remeasured every which way to
see if I could massage the figures to come out to 135 BCD, but no way... so
I'm
doubtful this is even a Campy ring.

Kudos to Bob. I had been watching this enigma unfold, secretly hoping the
seller might be right. Bob, you are a freaking genius. Thanks for putting this
conundrum to rest. Like I said, I was secretly wishing the seller might just be
right as I always like to be surprised by oddiities. Thanks again bob,
cheers-
