on another page they have a price list for whole bicycles and list the Lygie Professionale as model number 112W for one equipped with Weinmann brakes, 112C for a model fitted with Campag brakes and model 112LW for the women's model.
Juvela,

Thanks for the additional info, it is amazing to me how much knowledge is out there. My Lygie came original with Weinmann brakes and levers, but with Campy Record derailleurs and bar end shifters. The RD is apparently made of bronze and steel! It feels like a boat anchor but it is still interesting to me. Here is the Velobase link to it:

VeloBase.com - Component: Campagnolo 1020, Record

I ended up using a 2nd gen Super Record unit with Soma extended pulley arms to get the gear range I want.
