I do not know about this designation but I have seen these and they are quite a nice track bike. Real track bike values depend greatly on proximity to velodromes. A Campy track gruppo has a very fixed value. Used it cannot be worth less than $300 for the gruppo I would say. Some trackie out there would jump at this bike for $500 easy. And I have seen these bikes go for more than that. This is interesting because I am valuing this bike on a utilitarian basis rather than a collector basis.

Just to pick on the Francophiles you will notice that when the going gets tough (track use) the components go Campy. And even Campy submitted to getting stuff NJS approved for Japanese Keirin. USA collectors looking for rarities should try and find NJS approved Campy.
