I've had several request for pictures of the lugs and I will definitely take pictures them tomorrow afternoon.
As for fixing the bike, the main goal is to get it usable again. I don't want to say money is no object, but if the frame is decent enough I don't mind spending money on it. I was intending to work on the bike myself so the questions I have are more related to parts moreso than work required. What to do about rims? brakes? et cetera. I'd prefer new stuff as technology has changed quite a bit since the bike was first put together.
As to the seat and cable clamps: right now the seat is some gel thing. I was told it orignally had a Brooks seat on it but my father said it was uncomfortable so he took it off, he thinks he still might have it though. If he does I'll take a picture of that too. The top cable clamps are Campagnolos (father said he remembers paying something like $5/ea when he got them) but are in bad shape and will most likely be replaced.
