They could be ordered from Bertin as full bikes with Spidel, Campagnolo or Shimano DuraAce components but most were sold as bare frames. Ron Kitching sold them in the UK too.
I got this 1986 C80-SSC frame pictured below from the original owner who bought it new in 1987. The bike was built up with a mishmash of components. Here's a link to the Classic Rendezvous website showing how the bike looked before I bought the frame:

Bertin also produced the C79-SSC, same frame but built with Reynolds 531SL tubing instead of Columbus SL. 531SL
Wow, thanks for all the replies! Nice to know what model this is.
Crank arm had a circle with a '2' inside, that would make the crank from 1982.
I will try ebay for the new columbus decals. Paint is good with a few scrapes, after a good clean I will consider just a bit of touch up paint. Even the white lever hoods are amazingly in perfect shape. Chainrings and the Regina freewheel are in very good condition. I would guess this bike has not seen a lot of miles. Chain is a Sedis. Will try post some pics along the way.
