99.9% sure it's Japanese. Less sure it's a Zebra Kenko, but it looks like one.

The chrome head tube lugs remind me of an early 70s Lygie - Italian. Are the dropouts campy? Is the bottom bracket Italian or English?

On second thought... I don't think it's a Lygie.

Yeah, I saw the ad for that. I was thinking about driving over to check it out. Are you the seller?

No, I'm not the seller. I too saw the ad. Thought the chrome wrap around was cool and was hoping to get an ID on the frame.
