The returning Guerciotti
I built this bike with 105 for my Growing Nephew. After one season we discovered he wasn't growing enough. I am giving up my GT Edge Aluminum in Trade to get my Guerciotti back.
Not sure how I'm going to build it up.
Three options I have now.
Campy NR top to bottom with Large Flange hubs.
Campy Mix, Chorus, Athena with specialized hubs as on my GT EDGE
Or..Build my first single speed. NOT SURE YET>

That is beautiful. Single Speed? That`s no track bike!! LOL
It needs gears, and pretty ones that match it!! To tell you the truth it looks great enough as is.

I wouldn't put money on it..LOL. I judged by what I was told plus what I saw in literature. If you have a way to shed some light on the model year please share!!

Yes, when I posted photos of mine with similar inaccuracies as yours, I was told ways the design will tell the "era." On the top of the seat stays you have the typed name, not the signature, from what I understand the signature started with increased production in 1982. This would also mean you should have the older decal set. Also, do you have a star cutout on your bottom bracket? If not, it would be an earlier frame too, somewhere between '78 and '81. And I think your Columbus decal should be for "SL."

I looked but couldn't find a question in your original post, but I assume you are asking for my opinion.
I would be going all NR, or NR / Super Record mix. I like to see Italians that are all Italian, and the NR and SR look good to me.
