It's an early Nuovo Racing 12. That's the only real pit - there are other spots but none that make me wonder about the structural integrity of the frame. This spot seems to be where the old chain was resting against the frame. Of course the seatpost is frozen and I'm going to need heroic measures to remove one of the crank arms, thanks to a rounded-out dust cap hole.
