The short Campy dropouts have portacatena holes in the driveside (you can barely see it) so the most likely age for this frame is late '70s (say 1978-1980)...I'd guess the the 27mm seat tube could indicate an SP seat tube on an otherwise SL frame.
Is there a fork?
Thank you, I reallly appreciate it, as my knowledge in vintage road bikes is poor.
So it's possible that Torpado built it, but it's not for Italvega?
There was no fork, as far as I know.
