Identify this light Italian and its parts...Hodge-podge content...
Picked this one up last night. It belonged to an old racer. I guess you could call it his go-to beater bike.
Italian threaded BB, Campagnolo dropouts, nice lugs, no braze-ons, 27.0 or 27.2 seatpost and possibly originally orange. Serial #93754 on BB shell.
What say you?

Well... the fork appears to be not bent.

The Campy group escapes me at the moment. I don't think they're higher end. Interesting that the freewheel is a Sachs...

definitely an athena crankset. the RD could also be a victory or triomphe, the former if it has some kind of adjustment mechanism for the rear hanger. FD is also a athena but i believe the designed was shared with chorus/ CdA as well. the BB looks to be athena (thin cup/ dark anodized axle.)

The BB is Italian threaded?

Look like Bocama Competition lugs. That doesn't really narrow it down all that much though...

Lacking that, they would be Triomphe.

Also had these on it. Doesn't really matter, as I'll be keeping none of the parts since it's such a mish-mash.
Pedals are Victory, too.

Anybody recognize the fork crown? Interesting to me that the inside tangs appear to be cast separately from the crown.

Holy cut down seat post Batman!
Outside of Italy, any other countries produce bikes with Italian threaded BB's on a regular basis? If they are BCM lugs (French) with an Italian BB.... ?? The fork reinforcement tangs on the inside of the blades are a fairly common thing, but usually finished a bit differently than that from what I've seen. That thing is even more of a mutt than I thought when I saw it in the dark last night.

Something else that I should add is that it's built really similar to my Italvega. The rear brake bridge is set up for 10mm more reach than the fork. This, of course, pisses me off because brake options become limited.

THe serial number on the shell of this bike would suggest it probably came from a larger producer. Absense of brazed-on cable guides suggest that it dates back to mid/late 70's.
