Got it! It does not have willow leaf seat stay caps but does have brake bridge. Unusually it has campagnolo rear dropouts (not 1010) and simplex fork ends 😀. Campagnolo grand sport f/r DR, shifters, and cable guide, tipo hubs. Mavic monthery hoops (round/true). Mafac comp brakes. Pivo stem. Huret cable guides. was a true barn find per seller but thankfully no rust except some surface rust on chrome. SL 93 dust caps have never been touched. Will take some pics and share.any thoughts on how to date it ? You’re right unworthy1 it’s in good shape all considering. Appears “shelf” wear not from use…
