Nice colour.

What's that wrapped around the drive side chain-stay?

Looks like metal foil with the dealer's name on it

Not sold yet...

Another nice one, not for me though.

I like it, but what with the Cromor tubing and the CAMPAGNOLO VICTORY group-set (fairly low-end, no?) it might be a little over priced?

Seconded. Albeit the Victory is a LOVELY groupset to stare at and quite functional.
I found it very effective and priced correctly (because it is seen of a low-end quality) on eBay etc.

Still the price is too steep, agreed on that.

Apart from Super Record there was no higher groupset in the mid eighties as the C-Record delta brakes were a failure and were retracted.

Fair enough, I'm no expert, don't want to soil your pitch, and I like the bike. But the paucity of interest does suggest the price is a little on the high side. That said, it does look like it's in good condition, as you said.

I agree, it might need a price drop..

Several dibs, several undibs

Can you give me:

Stand-over height
Head-tube length
Handle bar width (measured from the centre of the bar-ends)
Rear spacing, and whether that group could be indexed for a 7 speed free-wheel (i.e. are the shifters and dérailleur 7 speed compatible)?

Standover height 82 cm
Head tube length 14.7 cm
Handlebar width 40 cm
Rear spacing 126mm
Campagnogo Victory is no Shimano, so no index shifting. It is however compatible for a 7-speed freewheel block.

'It is however compatible for a 7-speed freewheel block.'

So what you are saying is that the Campag derailleur and shifters are friction shifting?

Yes, they are.
Only in the later eighties index shifting was introduced on the C-Record gruppos

Campagnolo Victory shifters are friction.

That's a shame - it's a nice looking gruppo.

I personally prefer friction to index. And I love the look of the Victory groupset.

Nah, I can't get on with friction shifting I'm afraid - at least not for the sort of riding I use steel down-tube shifting bikes for.

I like it, as I like downtube shifters, as they force you a bit more into cadence.
You change less often than quicker handlebar indexed shifters. So you are force to adapt to the terrain with the legs, rather that with the bike.

Of course if you're fighting for the seconds, then no :)

I like downtube shifters - I never said I didn't - just not friction operated ones. If I was touring or ambling about then maybe, but my steel bike goes full gas

I never said you don't like downtube shifters :-p

My point was that friction, same way as downtube shifters, force you a bit more into cadence.

But back to this lovely Daccordi.
GLWS, @erikfox, and sorry for the interruption

Interesting reading, cheers for the bumping

Because you referred to handlebar set-ups I thought that you thought that I was eschewing downtube shifters completely; but you mean friction shifting improves ones cadence more so than indexed? Interesting...

But anyway, yeah, nice frame and nice gruppo - GLWS!
