Help me identify this bike....

Hello, This is my first posting ever. I need some help identifying a bike.
The best clue that I've got is the beautiful lug work. Here is a sample.
Thanks in advance for your help:

Hello Ken. your link took me to a sign in page on photobucket. if you are trying to indentify a particular frame it is best post pics of that frame not one that is 'similar'. many companies use the same and similar luggs and there are other things that help identify a frame. the dropout style, seatlug, brake/BB bridge, post some pics of the actual frame hopefully we can figure it out.

Here are your pictures:





Additional pictures of the seat cluster and the fork crown would help. Also is it Italian, French or British-threaded?

Based on the FD bracket, I'd say that it is a mid to high end frame. Those lugs look like Cinelli lugs

I'm guessing mid to late 80's Italian with the interior cable routing, steep headtube angle, tube ratios, lugs and dropouts.

What is the seatpost diameter? Is the bottom bracket Italian or English.

I don't think Cinelli ever made windowed lugs like that. They look more like Bocama "Professional" lugs.

AHHHH I hate you so much!!! I saw this on CL and immediately noticed how nice of a frame it was but with a poor presentation. I was too far out of the Boston area to pick it up so I had to pass it up. You got a great bike and I'm so jealous! How much did you pay if you don't mind?

I was going to guess Haden Professional but the window in the point looks wrong. I think your probably right.
