hello retyred,
thank you for uploading the additional images of the chrome machine. they answer some of the queries i posted and also raise others. had assumed bicycle's pedals were sheffield but see in the new pictures that dustcaps have a "U" logo. a puzzle to me as the only u pedal manufacturer i can think of is union of germany. see that the y adaptors are the steel type. asked about the afas because these are french manufactured toe clips which one would not expect find o.e.m. on an italian machine at this time. imagine they must have been mounted at the bike shop level, or later. would have expected a maker such as allara or balilla. saddle clip i asked about is indeed the original italia, likely saddle is as well...

thanks also for sharing the pictures of your white cycle. appears someone has replaced the seat binder with a qr type. the presence of the campg gs front mech does not really go along with a 1961 date as the accepted launch date for the record model front mech is 1960. if a 1961 bicycle came fitted with a record chainset one would expect also a record front mech. makes me suspect it to be perhaps very slightly earlier than 1961. alternately the mfr could have just been using up what they had in stock. you mentioned that the lh crank arm has the raised area around the pedal hole yet there is no "dust cap" on the inner face of the pedal hole. these sometimes do get lost. while the rh arm lacks the raised area it is also late enough to have the "webbing" between the two lower spider arms and the crank arm.

looked at the base model machine mentioned above which is presently on ebay. had never seen a "super" model before other than the line illustration in the brochure. was surprised to see that the frame is built with an agrati bulge-formed head of the "am" lug series, part nr. 000.8046.
ran across this ideor marked hubset, currently on offer on ebay:

a local cycling friend had been hankering for an ideor when he found a frameset and proceeded to built it out with period plausible fittings. no attempt was made to replicate a specific model. probably the most interesting component he employed was a gnutti splined chainset.
