I am going to reveal what this bike is "purported" to be by the previous owner.

I have tried twice to get in touch with the original purchaser, Billy Menchine, who apparently has a business in Santa Cruz Ca. If anyone here knows him or of him please tell him I REALLY want to talk to him about the bike.
Here is what the donater told me :

The 'bike' I donated is a late 1970s Guerciotti. Italian, company started by a pair of brothers trained in the Chinelli workshop. I do not know the model. It was repainted red at some point. A small very tight racing frame. With extremely beautiful simple lugwork tapered into the frame tubes. Simple but the nicest I have ever seen. This is an old bike, modern times have moved on. https://www.guerciotti.it/en/

My problem is that the bike I have does not have any of the unique features found on most Guerciotti frames. like the pantographing on the seat stays , the star shaped cutout on the lugs or the star cutout on the bottom brackets.
There is no serial number anywhere I can find it , only the number 54 stamped in the bb.
I have been scouring the internet looking at any 1970's guerciotti I can find and at least one did not have the star shapped cutouts or pantographing on the seat stays . that one had 2 cutouts on the bottom bracket vs my one.

knowing this is anyone knowledgeable enough with this mfg. to say I have a guerciotti? Obviously I want it to be so but I don't want to decal it as one if I'm not sure.

Here are some pictures of two I found w/o the stars and pantographing.
