That looks like a Campag bit of outer from my era :) https://velobase.com/ViewComponent.aspx?ID=043b3439-c160-4c31-bd1d-1d986376c2f3 Blimey they were shockingly expensive BITD. Yep, just cut off the ferrule from the outer....

Don't know much about colnago so had a bit of a read here about the Arabesque https://ciclicorsa.com/news/colnago-arabesque-a-steel-jewel-with-precious-details/

Paint and chrome look in a pretty poor state......

For light reading on the loo there's All about the bike, and one man and his bike.....

Did you post the forks to them?

Will a ferrule on the outer help? Seem to remember the official campag one that was just silver exposed metal had a ferrule that fitted into the chainstay stop.

All I meant was that Nuovo Tioo were the Campag cheap range and when you took them new out of their green box they were nowhere near shiny..

Is there a frame number that might identify what the frame actually is?

They are not Nuovo Tipo lol

I worked in a bike shop back in the 70's and must have changed hundreds of "blocks and chains" Bolting on a hardened steel tool against a cheese like metal made the metal of the slot peel sideways like a banana skin. Often easier to remove the cogs and stick the body in a vice.

Very shiny Nuovo Tipo, never that shiny out of the box 40 odd years ago :)

Where campag short dropouts available in 1970

Are the rear dropouts campag 1010/B short dropouts, can't see from the photos

Nice, if pricey. Are you sure it's all 1970? Some stuff looks later.

I bought a watch from the states and also got a tax bill which was a bit unexpected. I ignored several letters until one came from a debt collection agency......

Looks like a Raleigh Arena. Hard pressed to think if Raleigh made a cheaper frame......

Thanks for the info :). I've got a Paramount frame...... Ultra short wheelbase, drilled lugs and dropouts, shot in stays and almost straight forks. Sort of has Pongo written all over it.

Probably the cost.....

Is that an (Andy) Bone frame?

The 7100 rear mech doesn't belong with first gen DA so not on my shopping list. Titlist is the matching rear mech
