Steel and a country ride

Hello all,

I've had this certain desire to pick up an older steel bike fully campy and go for a ride on a lovely warm evening in the countryside. I've lusted over Colnago's for some time and a De Rosa here and there. I've recently come accross a deal that I'm thinking about and was looking for others with the same love affair with steel. Does anyone have any comments on a 1984 Trek 770 with Super Record? fresh paint for $425?
I know this certainly is not a Colnago but with reynolds 531 and full campy at a fraction of the price of a comparable Colnago this just might serve to ease my fix. Back to Colnago. Any frames to look out for or to be wary of in anyone's experiance? The Mexico models seem to go for less, were they made in Mexico or was that just a name? Any and all comments are welcome I ride a 58cm to 56cm depending on this or that. LOL
