Is this a Nishiki?

Hello,

I was not sure where to ask this question and so I came to this forum. I am not familiar with road bikes and their history.

I have received a bike and I have no idea what it is. There is no name and no serial that I can locate so far.

I have not seen bikes with such lugs as on this one in Australia. The colour looks white with sparkles in lights.

I have looked over forums and in some ways the lugs remind me of what people call the Nishiki brand of bikes. The brakes remind me of something that may have been before the 80's. Am I close to answer?

Can someone tell me what it might be made from and who made it?

The seat shows a name similar to "Ellevelli" or "Gellevelli" and the word Italia.
The gears on the back wheel show Revina or Kevina Made in Italy.
The Stem has the letters 3ttt Italy
The handle SR Sakae Special Japan
Where the front wheel goes into the fork mounts it shows Shimano SF
There are stickers that read "Made with Shimano 600 components"
The nut that holds the stem in place shows "Tange Falcon Made in Japan"
