What have I got here? Only have two clues...
Hello, I bought this "mystery" bike and it had a full Campagnolo NR groupo dated 1973. It has Yuko dropouts and an emblem on the seat tube that says Olympic and nothing else. No serial numbers that I can find. Anybody have any clues? Thanks for the help!

Hello Espo3909, welcome to the forums. Interesting looking frame. Where is it located? A lot of the members here are from the US and if this is from a small manufacturer in Eastern Europe (or really anywhere in Europe) it could be next to impossible to pin down. Any idea on the BB threading and seatpost size?

Hello and thanks for the welcome. I'm in the snow covered state of Minnesota (however I did get my 15 mile ride in today!). The bottom bracket has English threads and the seat post size is 27.2. The Y.C.F. Stands for Yuko Cold Forging. It is written on the rear drop outs. I appreciate the help- it must be an obscure brand with all the viewings and not a single guess.

If you're not looking for an appraisal, post it in the regular C&V forum. It'll get more attention there.
