Just throwing it out there, my opinions, so take them for what they're worth. This definitely isn't counterfit as it's not any notable model worth the effort. I would say, this bike "is what it is". An entry- to-mid-range aluminum alloy frame with CF fork bike. The components are fine. Bread and butter and work well. Altogether in present condition (assuming everything is working), in my area, you wouldn't have trouble getting $350-400 for it given the integrated shifters/new-ish components, brand name, and the dash of celeste color. As far as upgrading it or building it up Italian, you could do that but I would say there are far nicer frames out there more worthy of the effort. The welds on this frame alone are rather unsightly.

Also, in the future, when looking for more info on a bike be sure to capture and post images of the drive-side (side with the crank and derailleurs) as that gives us a little more insight into the componentry and condition of important bits.
