In taking a quick look at the Volare, that would be a cool bike, so I don't think I would be upset (especially at the $150 price point) if that's what I have. Without any investigation I am leaning towards it being older than the mid 70's and not a Volare since it does not have any braze-ons, and the harder (for those w/o the right tools/know how) components (Headset, BB, Crank - no date code) are all Campy and their is no sign of any DA. But I wouldn't be surprised if I find out it is something completely different.

Since there was a question in my mind on the bike and how to identify it along with how to build it I am planning to start a thread on it.

I checked the serial number K942 and I think it’s an oct 69 paramount. Thoughts?
