I want to buy a second-hand bike and I am searching your advice to identify the group. It has an oliveri frame and is campagnolo equiped. However I am unable to determine which group it is, it is marked nowhere. The brakes are silver, with 2 pivots, and the campagnolo logo is written with black on them. It has ergo levers, the lever itself is also silver, with an embossed model (looks very old) and pointed black hoods. It has 8 gears. My best guess whould be a chorus from around 1997 but I am no expert, and this whould be the most professional bike I ever had. All information I have is gathered from the net.

If it says 'Campagnolo' but not the group name, it is 1992/3/4. In 1995, they started putting thr group name onto the parts. If a dual pivot brake then probably 1994, first year for that.

I bought the bike. After 5 minutes of trying it I was convinced it was a fit. Thank you all for the help.
