The attack on the paint was done with a grinder actually! Still as vulgar..
I am quite positive that there are no spirals inside the seattube; the last photo I’ve added shows it to some extent, I’ve checked it with stronger light and finger too.. Also the seller too said it was built from SL tubes as far as he remembered (but still not being very sure) when I bought the frame. So if anyone owns or knows a Montello made of SL, this may be a Montello. Otherwise an early 90s Treviso possibility still stays on.
Yes, the bridgeless BB, inner brake cable routing were unique to Montello in the 80s. But as far as I understand what was used on the top class Pino model in 80’s made its way to the lower model later on, as usual.

This is getting more and more confusing; looking at your Treviso and the 93 Treviso frame on Hilary Stone website I have noticed some more differences to mine; yes the gussets on the BB are not there on both. (But a similar BB shell is present on this 97 Vuelta?) Especially the connection of seatstays to seatlug on my frame is reminiscent of the Montello. On none of the Trevisos I’ve seen this detail.
Any ideas from the serial no? HH345
I’d appreciate any more photos and info that might give some idea.. These were really helpful!
