Hi,
bought in on a whim, but don't have the space or need for a second bike.
So, it's a Bottechia (mid level Italian framebuilder) frame, judging by the geo
and build it should be made around the late 60s/early 70s, fully chromed under the lovely green paint. Sports Campagnolo dropouts.
Size:
Top tube, center to center: 54cm
Seat tube, center to center: 55cm; center to top: 56.5cm
Build:
Full Campagnolo Valentino extra transmission (shifters, front and rear derraileur),
all in pristine condition;
Stronglight 105 BIS chainset;
Stronglight headset;
Miche competition (straight rip-off of campag record low flange hubs),
laced to super champion competition record du monde rims;
Regina d'oro chain and cassette;
SR Cockpit, freshly taped with Fizik bar tape;
Weinmann levers, brakes and cable clips;
Steel seatpost;
black, suede and probably Italian saddle.
Lyotard marcel berthet pedals (a thing of beauty themselves).
Condition is fair, needs some basic TLC, the parts themselves are mostly in mint condition (bar the saddle), the paint is partly flaked/scraped, the chrome underneath is fully intact though. Absolutely no rust, dings or dents.

I'm asking 230GBP + Shipping (should be around 30pounds to UK/most of the EU)
Feel free to ask any questions.
As usually, Dibs aknowledged as long as they're followed by a PM.
Cheers,
Vytas
