I have a Grand Record frame that I got with some parts I assume were original. It came to me with headset, stem, bars, bottom bracket, seat post, and saddle, but that's it. I'm fairly certain it's a 72 or 73 based on what I can glean from catalogs and pics of other bikes on the web.

- Reynolds 531 main tubes
- Maes bend bars (I'm assuming, since no markings)
- No chrome "socks" on the fork

It's not critical that I age this bike, since I am taking some liberties with the build (Suntour drivetrain, Stronglight 93 crank), but I just bought a backup set of Campy NR drivetrain parts from a 72 Mondia in case I ever want to restore it. It'd be nice to know if the Campy parts are the right year, just for my own edification.

Left dropout has the number "1263931"
Right dropout has the number "4216"

Here are some pics -- ignore the placeholder wheels from my old UO-8...
