Does anyone know anything about Melchioretto other than it's Italian?
I am looking at picking one up but want to see if it's worth it after shipping.
Components are campy chorus.

I don't know much about the brand but it does appear to be a very nice mid 90's Columbus Altec aluminum frameset , similar Italian fame sets seem to be selling for $300 or so and whole bikes for $800-1100. This is very similar Cinelli Aliante that sold recently for reference.

While there were some issues with the 7 speed Synchro stuff the 8 spd which this bike looks to have was a solid higher end group that was used for close to ten years so no major issue with the components, other than the gold wheels being a bit guady with the white frame.
