Dear Group, I apologize for asking for the range of value of the bike... it was pointed out that I was breaking the rules... so please accept my apolo gies.
If you have any ideas as to what this bike is, please respond to markandfay

The racing green paint looks like Raleigh's bronze green... and appears to be original... since it is UNDER what's left of the decals. I can make out part of the word "SUPER" and "971" on the seat tube decal... and the fork d ecal reads "HAUBANS - BASES FOURREAUX" with another "971" beneath it. Think this means it's Super Vitus 971 tubing. The chromed dropouts are also Camp y.The crank is Campy, arms stamped "Strada." The rear RD is Campy Neuvo Rec ord (stamped patent 73)with a 5-speed racing cassette. The cable holders, b rakes, levers, seatpost, front DR, and hubs are all Campy. Headset is Stron glight. The seat is a brass riveted "Ideale 90". The rims are Fiamme. I'm t hinking this was a really high-end bike in it's day... as it really surpris ed me when I picked it up... only weighs 20 pounds. It is in perfect workin g condition and appears to be all original spec. I was also really surprise d by the smoothness and instant engagement of the rear hub... sounds and wo rks like a Chris King. So, does anyone know what year/model is this?Thanks in Advance! -Mark BlaubachYuma, AZUSA
