So it seems to be sure that the parts was updatet later. The Headset seems to be a Campa superrecord so I would think that it was tuned long time ago as no of the nowadays vintage cyclists would use this headset (or Dura Ace highflange hubs on Module E) on that frame i guess (don't missunderstand me, I love it). I really like the cycle and the mix so I won't change it.

I really like that there are vintage catalogues on the website. Great support to the customers. Hopefully there will be more once.
