help identify a campagnolo group

Hello everyone,

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.

What do you think?

Thank you,
Len

I think it would be helpful to post photos.

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.

Ah...they were prettier back then. I think they look cheap these days :-(

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