27.2mm will be a top tubeset and no-one puts Campag dropouts on a donkey.
I asked about rifling, as this would indicate SLX.
I find the brake bridge can be a useful indicator of the general quality of the build: a tube with a hole being the most basic.
Initially yours looks to be middling, not run-of-the-mill, but not top end either: a tube but with a nice reinforcement. However, if you look at either end where it flares and is profiled, it's clearly a cut above: understated class.
The same applies to the chainstay bridge and you can just see that it is a nice piece of work too.
All in all a classy frame and deserving of something nicer than Mirage for sure!
What are you plans for the build? I've got a couple of Chorus groups available...
