Need some help Id'ing this new-ish alloy road frame
I've had this frame around for awhile and have decided its time to sell. Can't figure out what it is though. The guy I got it from said that he had put the Bianchi decalson it and he didn't think it was a Bianchi...Any how it looks like the paint was strippedas there are still some remnants of a bluish-violet paint in some crevices. The serial number and bottom bracket markings are:
04538735R
and below that:
560MM
and on the other end of the bottom bracket:
U6
Its 56CM seat tube center to top and 54CM top tube effective center to center, with a slightly sloping top tube. PICS!

Sorry, I can't help you with except a fairly obvious thing. The 560mm is the frame size.
The rear triangle is the most distinctive feature. I've seen that shape stays on something but I can't put my finger on it. A first it reminded me of early '90s Fondriest but I think their seat stay was straight.
If you find a bike shop that has a good selection of dérailleur hangers, find one that fits and maybe you can narrow it down.
Of course if you knew what you had it would make finding the right hanger a lot easier.
Good Luck!
