The bitsa looks like a Gefsco. Has his dropout finishing and he has used that BCM lugs on his frames. Just the seat stay tops seem like someone else's.

"Chain probably needs replacing", you don't say? Nice wheels though.

I doubt they're Campag. Skewers are prob American Classic. Hubs look to be of Shimano shape. Probably 36h hubs half laced to 18h Deep V. I've got a 18 spoke wheelset built like that but with Aerohead rims.

... and here's the description

Haven't found the pic of the Merckx leaning against the white garage door yet. I'm tipping the seller is about as sharp as a bag of wet mice.

Benotto with lots of pictures, but not much info of drivetrain. Low starting price, don't think it will stay low though!

Given it's got 7 speed Shimano 105 I would guess its Mexican.
