Hmm, hard to tell from the photos, but I don’t think many of the parts are original. The cranks certainly look like they are from the period, but overall looks like it got updated with 90s parts, which is a good thing. I think you mean cm rather than “ too! Good luck with the sale.

hey Victoria - sorry for this nerdy bike comment, but the critical measurement is length of the  'seat tube' :  the near-vertical bit of the frame that goes from below the  saddle, to the middle of the bottom bracket where the  pedals fit.  From top of seat tube, to middle of bottom bracket should be somewhere between 20-24".  agree with Nick M - most components are newer.  The Campagnolo hubs are a good feature.  and  the frame looks like it's Reynolds tubing (possibly 531) - another good feature - see sticker on seat tube.  Cheers, from a different Nick
