Tommasini identified my Sintesi as a 1991.
The bike has been rebuilt twice since I purchased her.
I'm rebuilding her this winter with 2009 Centaur, and a Record crank for good measure.
Then I'll just leave well enough alone, and enjoy her.
To the op, yours is such a beauty. Why don't you just set her aside after you get the seat post out, and save her for a rainy day?
You might fall in love all over again.
