The fork crown looks consistent with Confente #5 (pics on Classic Rendezvous). Ditto the scalloped stays. But the aero cable routing would have to be a later (and unfortunate) mod by the owner. Is the RD cable routed through the chain stay as well? Hard to tell in the pic. Some other details (inner fork tangs, seat cluster, BB shell, dropouts) would help and be welcome.

I like that Cinelli stem with the badge on the side and nice lines around the stem bolt.
