A damn shame it's been left out in the weather for so long, this one should've been a wall-hanger.

now *there's* an idea: turn a set of Campagnolo record brakes into Universal Super 68s!!!! Why didn't *I* think of that???

Actually, I suspect that bike could look really sweet with a thorough clean-up and waxing/lubing job. It'd need a nice Regina Record chain and it'd be ready to ride--with some different brakes-- although that derailleur looks way too heavy to me. Where's my drill?
