Help me identify this vintage road bike
This guy is selling his bike (it looks pretty cool) but i think it's a bit overpriced.
Based on the 3ttt handlebars that has with the Olympic logo carved on it he mentions that the bike won 3 championships (which is BS), and also he said it's Italian (but doesn't say what manufacturer built it).
Is it worth 250Euros?

Hello Welcome to the forums. Where are you and the bike? My Italian or Greek is not so good so all I can make out is 250 euro which is about $325. It looks like 600 aburesque level components (maybe 105 Golden Arrow) so this would be a upper midlevel bike but with an unknown frame I think 325 is too much.
OH I figured out how to super size the pics it is 105 level stuff.
weineman brakes.

Seat post on backwards, bar tape issues, old mismatched tires, repaint, missing head badge and most decals, fork may be a replacement. Looks like a before picture to me = huge pass.

Maybe the pics are decieving me but I'm pretty sure the wheels are badly mismatched it looks to have a 27inch Araya red label on the front and 700c on the back neither of which seem to match the bike. This combined with the repaint and poor setup I'm with Thrifty Bill on this one pass and look for something else.

Hi New Zealand,
Looks like a PUCH ALLEGRO maybe?
They chromed the ovoid top of the chainstay rear fork like that and use white frames.
Also chromed forks and very pretty bikes
