The cable guides don't jibe with 1974 though...I would have expected clips. Also would have expected campy calipers, and those look like weinmanns.
The other clue that it would not be a P-13 would be the eyelets for fender/rack mounting on the the top of the rear dropouts (can't tell if they are there on the front fork). Notice that my '71 P-13 lacks the eyelets and the top tube braze-ons for the rear brake cable stops.
It would be easy for an inexperienced seller to ID the one you are looking at as a P-13. I misspoke when I asked if it was a P-12. Should have called it a P-10-9 since it has a double crankset. The P-15-9 came with the triple.
The P-13 had no eyelets, tri-cable clamps on the top tube, and Weinmann centerpulls in the catalog.
Edit: Finally got these catalog pages in the correct order!
