Great message from Chas Colerich about why this is a repaint.
Just to add a thing or two - - -
2. The reynolds decal (TI) Reynolds Nottingham England was first used in _1976_ or _1977_. So definitely, this is a really LATE version of the Mark II Pro, because those were discontinued in 70 or 71. Now for a personal plug, check out my decal archive which has genuine photos of most of the Reynolds art from 1960-1990 :

4. If you look at the bottom bracket photo, there is no campagnolo cable routing clamp on the bottom bracket. So bottom bracket braze-ons were probably added during this repaint.

If someone with a genuine "Limited Edition" decal would you please send a photo of it to the CR mailing list, I think we could also see how this (probably reproduction) decal differs from the original.
