The various Protar kits on my shelf are not all the same... there are at least three different frame castings (30s-style with Vittoria Margherita fittings, 1950s-style with derailleur fittings, and 1970s-style with derailleur fittings). There are also two or three different selections of components.
I'll go through what I have and make a list of specifics this evening.
