Found myself a shelf piece!

This has been in the local classifieds for a week.. Nobody wanted it. I really have no bike to hang it on, or have the money to acquire the rest of the group. But for $40, I though it's a good conversation piece and way better than a vase. My wife thinks I'm crazy.

Shame about the scuff marks, I know.. But it's in otherwise very good condition. The owner said he replaced it soon after the first ride with a 172.5mm (it's a 170). He also mentioned he sold his Pinarello Treviso, with a complete century group, to his friend for $300.



Okay, so what do I need to know about the century group? I need to convince the wife it's an awesome piece of cycling history!
