Does anyone know what this is?
I picked up this frame and parts today Campy rear derailer and cranks suntour drop outs nitto stem and bars olympiade 115 . The decals are missing and replaced with this lovely work of art. It also came with 1 set of mavic wheels a campy rear wheel and a mavic gp4 rear wheel all tubulur. My question is with all these parts coming off this frame is it hi end or a dressed up turkey. ser#sa628451 the last pic I through in picked it up today to thanks

I wouldn't call it a turkey, but it definitely looks like it's been upgraded a bit. The brake calipers are probably original, as well as the front derailleur, which are both entry level components. Looks like a decent 80somthing Japanese sport touring frame.

Based on the seat lug cluster and parts, I would tend to agree that it could be a Japanese made frameset. Good quality with nice parts. Is that a Campy Super Record crankset ?

I think so. If it wasnt for that cool old kids seat [ Which I may add when I find out when it was made it will be going on a bike built around the samr time. I hope its from the 50s I have a Raleigh rod and drum brake bike it would look sharp on] I wouldnt have just walked by the pile It was sitting buy the front gate someone left the night before. Guess Ill pull the campy stuff off and and throw the rest on the bike pile
