himespau Yep that's the one. I looked at that Masi too but passed because then I wouldn't be doing a build.
Spaghetti Legs Do you know if there was a version made without the adjustable rear DO?

I'm no expert but I thought the frame looked pretty good, maybe nicer than someone just trying to pass off a fake but I can't seem to zero in on whether its real or not. I thought the seller didn't know much about bikes since he had this listed along with the Masi as 26" wheels plus with the large frame figured maybe I was lucky enough to get a good deal. Could this be a later model "Torino" without the adjustable DOs? Or was the adjustable DOs just an option. I saw one that sold on Steel-Vintage.com that looks almost the same, decals are slightly different but it appears welded (or fillet brazed) without any GIOS stamp on the BB but it has the adjustable DO.

As far as build if it's not real I don't think I'm going to go through the trouble of doing a Campy buildup, I'll probably just return it and save my money for a real Italian steel steed.
