Celo Europa
A house brand of Marcel Celborn, these are probably either Colnagos or built by a builder that builds some of the Colnago models. The examples we have seen are very tidy - certainly at least as good as a typical Colnago or Olmo. For a guideline condition road bike figure about$700.

yours looks like anice bike, SLX (?) and Campi Athena what a package.

At least some of those were definitely built by Colnago.

I have a Celo from the early 80s or late 70s....bought as a gift for me by then BF; it was orig. red and was repainted blue in mid 80s; haven't ridden it since it was painted---hangs in my garage. Would like to know if it has value...and what that might be.

Yes it certainly has value but the proper place to ask that is in the evaluation forum, (which unfortunately doesn't get as much play as this regular C&V forum).
Yours has an advantage since it's probably at least an SL-tubed model, probably built by the same builder(s) who made Colnagos, and is a small size...too bad it's not as recognizable a name as Colnago.

It's officially a "sub-forum" just for evaluations of classic/vintage bikes and here is a link:
https://www.bikeforums.net/forumdispl...-and-Inquiries
read the how-to/rules and post away...maybe now that you have started here there will be more "experts" likely to view your thread in that forum, but it doesn't hurt to add a thread directing interested parties to go there and look.
Good luck with it, I'm sure there will be a buyer for it in your future.
