Lovely original lavender paint with white panels and lug lining. Reynolds 531 tubing, Shimano forged ends with eyelets. Full Campagnolo Nuovo Record. Brooks Competition saddle. 3TTT bar and stem. AVA tubular rims with original Clement Veltro tyres. Suntour freewheel and chain. Velox bar plugs, cloth bar tape. Silca frame pump.

Frame condition is very good with minor paint chips, most severe on bottom of BB shell. Components good to very good except brake levers featuring road rash and replacement lavender AME hoods. Some pitting on chrome bits. Rear mech has replacement Suntour sealed bearing pulleys. Tyres hold air well, show little wear, but they are aged, do not recommend using.

Other facts:
