Help with identifying bike please
I have this 60's/70's bike that I need to identify the frame and pricing.
All I know is the following:
Frame bought in the late 80' or early 90's
Equipment: Campagnolo Record front derailer and seat post
Campagnolo Chorus: crank, brakes, shifter, hubs and rear derailer
Rims. Mavic
Tires. Victoria
7 speed
24" frame
27.2 seat post
Modolo speedy handle bars
Specialized seat
Nervex pro lugs
Columbus Fork
Campagnolo rear drop D74184?
Apparently hand made by someone with the initials RAM
Bike painted by my dad
Stickers are completely wrong(they say Pinarello) obviously it is not.
If any one knows what frame it is and what price I can ask for, all info would be greatly appreciated!!!

Apparently defaced by a former owner with the initials RAM. Surely a frame builder would have had proper marking tools.
If you want to make some money on that bike, you are looking at a part out. Proving what it was will be near to impossible, and the DT decals on the ST are a distraction.
Mismatch drop outs makes me think fork is not original.
BB threading?

This frame was heavily modified with the addition of braze-ons and almost certrainly a non-OEM fork. While the dropouts and post size indicate a high end model, the workmanship is very pedestrian, suggesting a large volume manufacturer. Does it use English, French or Italian threading?
