Pics were too large to attach, so here's one the seller sent me prior to the sale:
Closeup shot of the seat cluster, the only image small enough today to attach. I'll try for more pics tomorrow.
The build is all Campagnolo, '74 date codes on derailleur and crank. TTT bars and stem, Nisi tubulars, and a Unicanitor padded saddle.
Anybody know if old style Presta valve stems can be repaired, or removed? I don't see how they can be removed. I know the newer ones can. Hate to see a good set of tires go to waste.

Good gracious, that is droolworthy!!
No clue on the old Presta valve stems anymore.
I would definitely find a Campy seatpost binder pronto.
I have to admit though, I am a little jealous.
You have a superb example of a classic Italian racer and I want one just like it in my size.

This one's 57 c-t. I normally take a 58, but I'll make it work.
That is a keyed binder style head on the bolt, but it's not like the standard Campy one's I'm used to. I think I have one in the parts bin.

Correction. Two would be $25 each.

I finally got to see that beauty on my laptop instead of my phone. Wow! Droolworthy doesn't begin to decribe
Honestly, the blue highlighting has me thinking about putting away the Italian tricolor-painted panto stuff on my gold Colnago Mexico and outfitting it with a normal Super Record gruppo with blue highlights like the Marnati. Wish I knew where to find that blue brake cable housing.
I can hardly wait to see more pics. This is one of the best of the year so far. Ride it like you stole it

Easily one of the best for sure.
I still have a real sweet tooth for nice Italian racers even though I am riding mostly off topic dirt bikes these days.

Aaron,
This one came from Marco Borri. His seller ID is paracorto on ebay. He always seems to have some pretty nice bikes.
The frame has been repainted, a very nice job. I highly recommend Marco if you are looking for a nice bike, and a very good person to do business with.
