Frankly, the dura ace is more functional from that period than Nuovo record, super record, triomphe or victory.

I don't know, it's before my time.
This gentleman is rather sick and may leave it to me, or just sell it now. I'll try to find out more.

Maybe a Franklin?

It's pretty cool.

1984 Spectrum? Super nice.

So I half deleted the thread because I realized it was posted in the appraisal section. It won't be for sale.
I'll post in C&V once I get it cleaned up and bearings repacked.
For a teaser, it's Black and Gold, not a scratch on it and full DA. Shifters, hubs, brakes, seatpost, stem, freewheel (not sure yet, may be a cassette), crank, and derailleurs. Leather San Marco seat that looks like a Brooks and the leather bartape looks like it only needs some conditioner. All internally routed cables.
Probably going to only need to clean it up and replace the tires, cable, and housing. The hoods for the non aero levers are in remarkable shape considering the age.
