Atala Corsa GS

I purchased this on Ebay and it arrived this week. I put it all together to get a few pics.

This is a 1984 frame per the serial number. It must have been produced in late 84 as it does have the Campione Del Mondo sticker for 1982, 1983, 1984. I believe it is a Corsa GS (their lower end frame) due the Tullio tubing and lack for chrome fork and rear stays. I thought there was a unique paint job on the rear stays, but they are actually covered in reflective tape/stickers. It actually looks pretty good and is in good shape. Here is the rundown:

Campagnolo 980 front and rear derailleurs
Ofmega Competizione crankset
Campagnolo Shifters
Selle Italia Flite saddle
ITM (I think) seatpost
Campagnolo Triomphe brake levers (hoods have been replaced)
3TTT stem and Competizione bars
Galli Aerodynamic brakes
Campy hubs 130mm spacing, not sure the model
Campy Victory Chrono tubular rims
no name platform pedals

It rides really nicely, though I did not really take it through its paces.

I would like to replace the seatpost (don't like the black) with a nice campy seatpost 26.2mm. Not sure about the wheels, I have some Campy wheels with clinchers, so I have options if I don't stay with the tubulars. I would like to get some new brake hoods and make it non-aero. And I will replace the saddle as I don't like the Flite saddles. Overall I am pretty happy.
