OK my 10 cents: Daccordi are top end, I have one with a later groupset;
Campaign Victory were based on pre Corsa Record ( C record ) Record groups for riders wishing a 'classic' look, they are not low end as some posts suggest.
Friction shifting demands a little more technique and 'feel', but i have Mavic friction shifters on my 80s Colnago C record Super and they are smooth as silk, and never need index tuning with cable stretch. £500 buys a very low end mass produced bike, this frame today would cost £1500 alone, so I think demand for a lower price just means that buyers are unaware of what a superb ride this is; or 'fashion conscious' and would pay double that for a Colnago!...my pics linked below :) hope you get an appreciative new owner!
BUMP!
