First Post and Noob question

Hi.

I just inherited an old bike from the in-laws. It's an Atala Corsa GS with Ofmega components. After searching the archives I've discovered the following: Mid to late 80's Atala's are better than 60's and 70's versions and that Ofmega made some decent (and some not so decent) components. What I wasn't able to discover was do I have a high end bike or a mid-grade version for the wannabe racer? Several things make me suspect the latter. The bike has tubular rims but the Ofmega components don't have any indication of what group they are. The bike has Tullio (never heard of it) tubing and says "Campione del Mondo 1982-1983-1984-1985-1986" in several places. It appears to be the right size for me so it looks like a good value (free). But should I approach it as a restoration project or is a frankenbike approach OK?

Thanks,
TWW
