Ah yes, that’s where I’ve seen the clover leaf!

Nice little detail on the cable guide and a picture of the tyre clearance with the 2.5 GC Extremes

Think you are correct about the stem.

The wheels are campag hubs, probably Centaur? On mavic M6 rims I think? I’ll check tomorrow. I haven’t had a proper look over it yet. Maybe this weekend . One thing I did notice is that the large chainring is 50t🫢

I’m actually local to the “Boro” 😅 Anyway, I’ll have to do some research on the bike. I thinks it’s an 89? The seller even give me the original Campag Seatpost and “yellow” Turbo saddle 👍

I’ll give it a good look over tomorrow

It is now.. I’ve just been and collected it 👌🏻
