This is starting to come together:
Currently unconfirmed but I think its a Plum Vainqueur. No idea what the tubes are but others i've seen online would suggest columbus. Theres no markings on the dropouts or bb shell (70mm), only these Ps on the fork crown:
Ignore the seat height. Seat tube measures 27.0 at the clamp but this 27.0 post stops dead after about 3 inches. Theres quite a bit of crap in the tube so i'll try cleaning it out or get a 26.8.
I doubt the paint is original and theres quite a bit missing in places, might go for a respray or just keep it ratty for a bit.
After a bit of effort I finally got the piegas on the stem (cheers @Borek) but I might swap them over for criteriums. I'll get it rolling on these wheels first which are mavic cxp33s on miche before getting the proper wheels built. They'll be 36h novatecs on grey open pros with a 19t phil cog. Cranks are da7500.
