Early 90s crank (that fused look in the spider and the small Campy logo at right angles to the arm & no group name)--monoplaner-style brakes; with first gen 8 spd brifters (see the hood shape) The black shift levers under the brake levers make me think these are lower spec than Chorus. The only group I used of that generation was Mirage that looked similar, but I have no idea.

Nice bike, though. Were you wanting to upgrade, or decide if the components are worth keeping?

If it is indeed Campy 8 spd, you can still get chains and cassettes, brake shoes, lever/shifter parts to keep it on the road. If the shifting is not crisp, especially on the rear shifter, then it may need rebuild.

Again, if it is 8spd, you can upgrade or replace the wheels with a 9/10spd set, and then buying a loose cog 9spd Veloce cassette, and leave out one cog, replace the 9spd spacers with the ones from your old 8 spd, use a new 9spd chain & voila, you have an upgraded drive train and a wide choice of new wheels.
