I'd expect the bike to be built with Dura Ace, or a high-end Campy groupset.

Those may be sewups, as expected, but the rims are suffering from brake rub on anodized surfaces.

So, restoration/rebuilding wouldn't be cheap.



Hopefully he has some good photos of the bike from before painting. Perhaps photos of the decals someone was selling. Then, with a laser printer, one should be able to print one's own decals or waterslides. Or with a laser cutter, cut stencils.
