I do not know anything at all about vintage bikes, so please excuse any mistakes in terminology
I found this bike in a (thankfully very dry) cellar in Italy last week, I was there to look at some vintage wine.... however I was offered this bike with another basic shopping bike for 50 euros each, and bought it (them) because I liked the look of it and also that it was so light, less than 8 kgs with all the extra bits on it, including water in the bottle!!!... it it is absolutely filthy and covered in dust and goo.... but thankfully it has been totally dry and not at all humid..so basically I'm hopeful it will clean up ok... where I have gently rubbed with a damp rag (on the black clover leaf design engraved onto of the front fork top) it is chrome and very shiny underneath as are the forks themselves , it looks like it has been in the cellar for well over 20 years or more.. the owner has died many years ago.. I was offered this bike by his wife.
Okay.. so.. the frame is a metallic red, with chrome underneath, a yellow 3 leaf clover on the frame near where the handle bars attach to the stem, two small yellow triangles up at the rear of the frame inside near where the bar that holds the rear brake calliper. Two thin yellow lines that delineate at each end between the chrome part and the metallic red part of the rear bar below the chain.
It says Colnago on the frame and on the black metal water bottle holder, the black metal water bottle holder (with some clover leaf type cut-out logo)..
There are white frame decals that say Colnago with a black 3 leaf clover motif, with two thin gold lines and colours at one end of the decal (blue, red, black, yellow, green) and at the other end of the decal two thin gold lines where they meet the metallic red part of the frame.
A gold sticker that says 'Tubi Rinforzati Garantiti' , and Acciaio (R) Speciale , and a white bird in a red oval, with COLUMBUS underneath.
A Sticker on the front main post that says Colnago in black on a white background below a black 3 leafed clover and the colours stripes of blue, red, black, yellow, green, going off diagonally to the right.
Everywhere else it only says Campagnolo apart from the brake callipers and brake levers which are matt black and they both say Modolo Equippe.
This is what I can find marked on the various parts of the bike.....

Rear railer : Marked Campagnolo Nuovo Record "Patent 77"
Gear Levers : Campagnolo
Crank gear set : Campagnolo

Head bearing nuts-set : Campagnolo (every part marked)
Seat-post : Campagnolo post is fluted and marked '27'
Saddle : Marked - San Marco - G. I. Lux SL
wheel hubs inside : both wheel hubs marked Campagnolo Record
Wheel rim Rear = Mavic marked S.S.C
Wheel rim Front = Nissi - also marked 'Mercurio D'oro 1977'
Pedals : marked - Brev int - Campagnolo - Made in italy with logo and also Campagnolo designs
Pedal foot type cages, chrome and marked Campagnolo, with logo designs on caps
Black leather straps that connect to the pedal cages with S/S clips marked 'ERREBI' and the Errebi logo on the straps.
The front tyre appears to be glued to the rim and is perished, however the rear tyre seems okay and takes air.
I would be most grateful if anyone can identify the bike, the model and the year???
Many thanks...
