Is this a vintage time trial frame? or a load of S***?

Hi all,
i went to a cycle jumble at the Manchester Velodrome in the north if the UK - sold a fair bit of my stuff and decided (wish i hadn't) to buy this frame.
It was built up as a retro time trial bike - definately a respray - the chrome forks were badged columbus - as is the frame (the forks are actually made in taiwan crap).
campag aero post (cut right down so useless) tubular wheels (OK) simplex rear derailleur (broken) cinelli bars and stem (OK)......
I very much doubt it's a Stan Pike as badged (he died in 1984 or thereabouts), there is a cinelli BB, short point lugs (the downtube has a "P" engraved) , no serial numbers or marks on the dropouts, 27.2 seatpost size - time trial shifter boss on the down tube and internal brake and rear derailleur cabling......... it's reasonably light too,

any ideas??? here's some pictures.
