Notice the adjuster and the jockey wheel bolts.

Many bits are Campagnolo (N-GS or N-R) >>>

..., but the hubs are from Suntour (36h).

The titanium rack is from Tubus >>>

The rack is one of several later era parts on this bike. The bars are late 80s. The Nitto stem is pretty recent as well.
 
Is it a zaskar? 😝🤣
Seriously though, I quite like it! Are the bars scott? They look like the dropins but I can't see them well enough
 
They say Specialized, but I wouldn't be surprised if they were made bij Nitto for Specialized.
 
This is one of the most interesting bicycles made by Vittorio, I think. I have a modest Reynolds 501 randonneur frame by Vittorio, and I wondered if you know how to date it, @Elev12k ? Is there any information available on frame numbers by Vittorio?

Ok, thank you. I tried on the "oude fiets" forum and it is probably 97/98. I was hoping for a list of frame numbers through the years like there is for the Gazelle race department, but doesn't seem available.
