The seller did say that he bought the frameset and had it built up, so maybe that partially explains the older components. And he said it was from a Schwinn dealer in California.

Entirely plausable, the shop was probably all to glad to build it up with the older inventory of expensive parts they had collecting dust. Looking carefully at velobase, the engraved logo on the c-record crankarm and the rear derailler indicate that those 2 parts are from 1985-1986, the 1987+ c-record used a stencil painted on logo instead of engraving. The NISI tubular rims would also be much more typical from this mid 80's timeframe.
Another possibility that comes to mind is that the c-record parts were originally used on another bike (Perhaps the grey Olmo?) and he had them transfered onto the leader frame when he bought it. The grey Olmo appears to have a C-record (or some other campy aero) seatpost. Perhaps the frames needed different size post and he could not use it on the new red bike so left it on the grey franken-olmo when the other c-record parts were harvested?
