Good:
Lugged Italian frame in very good condition
600 tricolor RD and 600 headset, both super clean and smooth
Shimano indexed shifter dialed in
3ttt stem and bars

Not so good
Almost all parts are non-original, assuming it's a 82-83 Campione Del Mundo
Wheels spin well w matching Shimano hubs but are Weinmann and Araya
FD and crankset are Shimano but not 600

From 1983 catalog:








Lack of chrome on the crown, eyelets on the dropouts and recessed brakes pretty much rule out and '81 Campione de Mondo.

You reallt need to see and stampings on the dropouts and the bb threading. The fact it could be a repaint makes it real bubious but it's very likely a early '80s Italian frame maybe more like a Nuovo Racing or even Nuovo Touriung or even 980 frame. It's like to be TreTubi Columbus with Falck stays
