Atalia - 8 or 9 speed campag? - is that possible...

Does this have 9 speed downtube levers?
I don't believe Campag made any, and if they did, they don't index with Shimano 9...

My guess is it has 8 speed downtube shifters, but hang on that won't index 9...

An interesting curious build, any thoughts welcome.

It’s definitely been put together with whatever they had spare at the time, seeing as the frame has cable guides for Ergopower/STIs, but they’ve used downtube shifters. Those shifters aren’t Campagnolo; they look like a more modern cheaper copy of some later ones.

Maybe using friction rather than indexing that set up works. I’m sceptical about that, though. Obviously it’s a nice frame, but I doubt it will sell for that amount with such an odd and random build.

Mmmm

They defo look like Campy 8 speed downtube shifters. Like this

You would indeed seem to be right. I’ve only seen the ones with the shield logo on, but I really should know better by now than to presume to know much about Campagnolo parts, there’s so much variation and yet similarities between them.

I don’t know anything at all about Atalia, so my guess on price would only be based on it looking like a decent quality Italian frame. I can’t see it going for much more than £200-250. There doesn’t seem to be a tubing decal anywhere which definitely hurts it.

Owner suggested it has this

Dedacciai Zero 18 MCDV6 H.T.

Is that a good tube set?

 

[zerogravitas]

It seems likely. And yes, its a high end, lightweight tube set. I have an Atala from a similar era (late 90s) that is also built with that tubing. See the link in my signature.
