Bikes: '70s - '80s Campagnolo

This is kind a unique one. You can usually get the most if you part it out. And as good as the repaint and Triomphe are, neither is often respected. Folks like me looking for a Triomphe crank or a sweet ass Victory wheelset don't want to buy a whole donor bike unless it's dirt cheap.

What is the bottom bracket? JIS or ISO? Looks like a nice match from what I can see on the nds.

If you want to sell as a built up bike, I would ... trim the cables a lot, polish the rear derailleur with 600 grit, use red cotton Newbaum's tape (and spend a little more time perfecting the finishing tape), add clips and straps, lower the fd, raise the seatpost, source the correct stepped ferrule for the rd (free from your bike shop probably), match the tanwall tires, source an '80s saddle, and take the best pics you can manage in the shade of a city park on a sunny day.

​​​Can you get a headbadge? I would think all that might be worth $500 or more to someone. Act quickly or wait til spring. Don't let it sit on a local market collecting dust in their minds over the winter.
