Looks as C&V as any number of my rides I continue to pontificate about with impunity whenever possible ---

Steel frame, level top tube, quill stem, Campagnolo groupset, -- looks close enough to C&V for me

If its Veloce, and tuned up properly, --- heck you may just keep it on there -- I have the same groupset, only a triple chainwheel on one of my De BErnardis --- Its not as slick as the newer 10 speed Veloce , but its adequate

Almost a pound of your weight woes are likely tied up in that seat and tires if they are wire bead -- but my triple ring DeBErnardi weighs 23 lbs with a cromor frame --- yours is likely roughly equivalent to Cro-mor, Aelle or Thron - somewhere in there ---- the darn thing rides so nice that the weight is not a limiting factor though
