need help to ID brush bombed 60's? roadie !!SOLVED!!

[scrumblero]

scored this cool old roadie today , and after wiping some of the house paint off, I have come to the conclusion that it musta been clipped back in the day, cause they were sure to sand off ALL identifying graphics before they slathered it with dutch boy, while leaving the rest mostly untouched... :roll: but to my suprise the serial numbers are still pristine.. :lol:

anyway, I figure it may be a decent frame set since its got a Campi gruppo on it, so any help IDing it is greatly appreciated!! :mrgreen:

Yikes! Bummer about the brush paint. Nothing jumps out at me to help ID, some nice old Campy stuff though.

Marko Saddle, here is a Marco Bike. The stickers, head badge and seat tube say Idaho Falls Idaho on them. Sold it a while back.

I've tried to decode the numbers as a raleigh, but they dont appear the same, perhaps it was an american rebdge? huffy maybe? or sears? :roll:

The lugs look my old Sears 3 speed frame has, made in Austria, so I looked at the Old ten speed gallery: Same chain ring.
