Hello-
All really great input on my mystery. Yes it does ride really well. Even with the junky grouppo on it and it is very light. But here's my to do list for you guy's in helping me. I need to get a better photo of the BB area with the cranks out. Measure the size of the seat post. Clean up the frame to see if perhaps there's any markings I missed. (A good idea regardless). And see if I can locate someone who can determine the actual make up of the frame metal. THis will help narrowing things down a bit more as well. I also completely agree any yahoo can buy some odd stickers and slap them on where ever just to tickle there own fancy. Though I have spoken with Gita and the came back with ZIP. It wasn't one they've seen but here's a little something most of you might not know but in some other markets in the world they did use other names for certian lines and did make a number of "Promo" varients. And I've sent off my request to Italy not expecting much there. And yes this bike has been repainted I located one spot where a lower layer of paint was "Pearl Green" (which is a Pinarello color). So it's still a mystery. One I shall keep you guys in on since hey we all love a good story. An it rides wonderfully even with the junky bits on her. I can only imagine if I swapped out to the proper parts for her. Oh Pinerallo did use Aelle in the early 80's and had experimented with the brake line running where this one shows. I know more confusing than it already was.

Cheers-
Ben
