The guy I bought it from was the original owner. He bought it in '85 in California. The only thing I could dig up on line that matched were the Campy components. Campagnolo G010-SM, Victory. (thanks to velobase.com). This matches what the guy remembered - that they were the Victory line. I would like to find out which model & year for sure. Any help or pointers would be appreciated!
Thanks!
Are you sure the components are Victory and not Triomphe? They look very similar. The most distinctive difference is that Victory has drilled brake levers while Triomphe does not. Also, is it the full group or only the derailleurs? In 1985 the Bianchi Stelvio used Triomphe derailleurs while the Binchi Veloce used the full group.
