Late 80s/Early 90s Olmo Corsica

I have what appears to be a late 80s/early 90s Olmo Corsica. I've been unable to locate a serial # on it...I've looked in all the usual places, and the only stamping I've found is the size (57).

The frame has never been built; it could be called NOS, but it has some shopwear. It's made of Oria Special TC 0.9, which I haven't been able to find much information on. I don't know much about lugs, but they seem pretty standard. The headtube lugs have heart-shaped cutouts. The bottom bracket is unmarked, other than the size. The dropouts are too thickly painted for me to be able to see if they're Campy or something else.

The paint is typically Italian; a little sloppy, but very pretty nonetheless. It's blue-white fade that looks quite nice with the (unmarked) chrome fork. I'll have pictures posted by tomorrow at the latest.

How much would something like this be worth?

Pictures, as promised (excuse the messy room...it's used solely for studying and wrenching):

No thoughts? I'm thinking about asking $250...would that sound fair?

I just saw one of these on my local listings.

The photo they put up was really small but seaching on google images found it to match your bike and thus I found more about it. so thank you!

Looks a lot like my old Montagner, which rode nicely.

It was also made from Oria 0.9.

Should sell at your asking.

Where though?
