Help with info on multi speed

Is this old bicycle anything special? Any ideas or thoughts on value? Is that the serial number and could it really be number 1?

it's a keeper

curious mod with the V-brakes (they're very similar to Paul Motolites, but not exact, and probably something from the 90s). That bike is all road bike, noted by the long trail (small front offset) fork. You usually find sidepulls on a road bike and cantis or V-brakes go on your mountain bike, or your touring/rando/load-hauler with a short-trail fork. Somebody went to the trouble to braze the canti studs on the frame and fork for that mod (did not improve its value). Maybe they used it for cross racing?
We could probably tell you more about the frame with photos of the lugs, fork, dropouts, measurement of rear dropout spacing. The crankset is Strada era (Campy or clone), also consistent with the drilling (70s), as is the Nuovo Record derailleur - early bike boom.
Brake levers are also 90s. I mix components on bikes, too.
Nothing you have there is terribly collectible, but might build into a rideable (Franken)bike

Bulldog A+ answer. Thanks for all of that.

you're welcome. I can't help with the cool old balloon tire bikes on this forum, though my first bike was a '62 Sears Flightliner, and my second was a '69 Rail - wish I still had them, my dad sold them both
but I pedaled through the bike boom...

again Vince, this is sounding like an uninvite.
as long as we're repeating:
Do you believe bike boom sport-touring and road bikes are off-topic for this forum?
