Beautiful job. I a co-worker of mine just bought an vintage Ciocc at a local store here in the San Diego area and we've been trying to identify it.
I looks very similar to yours. It has a San Cristobal label, Shimano 600 parts, a Cinelli stem and bar (campione del mondo). The number "54" is stamped on the bottom bracket.
Once it gets cleaned up, I'll take a couple of photos and post them.
Sounds like you have confirmed that the Shimano 600 was stock?
