Hello guys, an update here but alas without pictures..

It's a Brava in Formula Two tretubi. Shifters+derailers are Campy Triomphe, headset, hubs, pedals and crankset are Ofmega Strada, Campy SR clone with black chainrings. Handlebars+stem is ITM, brakes+brake handles Modolo. The Silca Impero pump is indeed very nice!

So there we go, a nice mid level bike from the mid 80's. Not a Reparto Corse, but I can live with that given the price I paid. Unfortunately I was so busy polishing that I didn't even think of writing the serial number down, but I did recall it being situated on the bottom bracket shell, beneath the cable guides.

Since the bar tape was bust I went to a LBS and picked an original Bianchi celeste cork tape, which really lit up the overall appearance of the bike. It's also a lot more comfy than the stock benotto-style tape that was on it.

I promise to give you pictures, but I won't get a shot at it until the weekend. Updating then. Also, thanks a lot for your replies, they are much appreciated!
