I'm also curious as to what year it is. It has better campy bits (better than Valentino, which was garbage). I think those high-flange hubs should have a production date code. At first sight from a bad picture the components seem to match the 1972 Professional model, which should make those Campy bits Nuovo Record.

By the way, how much is this thing worth once it is back in running order? Now that it is going to be mine I suppose I should care about that :}
