Matt,
Please reread what I wrote, I was not speaking of the upper end of the seatstays, but rather about the bottom end of the seatstays, where they are brazed to the dropouts. The tubes have a rounded/crimped appearance that was not commonly found on Italian Wilier bikes that I have seen. This would indicate another supplier of tubing was being used, hence my suggestion that it is either a local Argentine product or not a Wilier.
