Arbos pics

Someone emailed me for pictures of the Arbos I got on ebay recently. Here are a few. Mid-50s I'd guess:

Is that campy seatpost? Do you think it was added later? The shifters are they out of place or where the early record later recycled into Valentino/GS?

The seatpost is Campagnolo STEEL (first one). Shifters, if you mean because they have screws instead of 'D' rings, early ones were that way. I suspect the rear derailler was upgraded, as Record is later than the rest. Otherwise, seems pretty original. I haven't really messed with it yet. Did get a headbadge and decals from a guy in Italy.

Hmm, not sure.. I've had a couple other similar bikes that seemed to have Mafacs as original. It is unusual, but not unlikely.

i'm not sure but i think mafac parts from the earlier period would have the M.A.F.A.C. markings..
also the bolt on seatstay cable stop doesn't seem right..

but i'm not clear on dating their stuff
