bike has '74A' on the seatpost lug, and takes a 27.0 post. Campy dropouts, with Gipemme dropouts on the fork. Decals/chroming in good shape, but it is more 'chrome' than the smoke chrome that is talked about.
Any information would be appreciated. I will try to post pictures, in the future.
Thanks, in advance.
It sounds like a winner to me, but I am biased in favor of Austrian bikes.
The 27.0 seatpost diameter is a good sign. The under-BB sheel cable routing indicates early 1980s vintage. Pictures would be great.
