I don't think the bike is as nice as you think auchen... Xenon was Campy's answer to Sora. It is definitely nicer than Sora, but it is still a LOW end group. I'm pretty sure 10s Xenon stuff is priced simarly to 9s Sora. Also, I think this bike has about as much in common with your Ganna and that beautiful 1930's example as today's Motobecanes and Schwinns do with the classics of the same name.

Best bet for the OP would be to list in on Craigslist. Made in Italy and Campagnolo components (even though low end) will help for sure. Try for $350-400 range though.
