Can anyone please help ID this bike I'm bidding for on Ebay?

Seller says it may be a De Rosa but is confident it is Italian. Anybody able to help?

I don't believe it is a DeRosa. The bottom bracket does not look like anything I have ever seen on a DeRosa.

OK. Thank you.

Any ideas what it could be, then.

This has been around a couple of times. Not a De Rosa.

Please note, that I have no idea what I'm talking about, but one thing I noticed is that the Olmo I picked up last week has a lug design similar to the picture posted above. Also, in what little I've been able to find about Olmos...the pics that I have seen of them, I believe most, if not all, had full chrome forks (as mine does). Mine also features Shimano 600 components, except for the crank, which is Shimano 105.

Again...I have no idea if this helps you in any way...just thought I'd chime in.

I'd say DeBernardi (or Titan).
