This quote is from ClassicRendezvous.com "Sante passed away in the mid 1980s and the rights to manufacture frames under his name had been passed to Marc Rossin, then to the Basso brothers. Bikes from the 1970s and earlier, made by Sante himself, are highly prized by knowledgeable collectors."
If this bike is mid 80's, how would you explain the absence of cable guides on the top tube, not to mention the guides above the bottom bracket?

But I am still very interested in an explanation for no serial number or PSM stamp.
