Superissimo? I have an identical-looking frame that I always thought was a Super Piu or Superissmo (I don't believe its Brain, I think it's SP based on thickness and lack of rifling) and I have never been able to identify it. It's a 62 or 64 cm frame, so that would explain the SP rather than SL tubing if a Super.

From the fork crown (which is a bit different from yours - C with a club in it on top and triangle on the blade), I thought it was late 80's/early 90's. Mine appears to differ from yours in that the front cable entry is on top of the top tube. Mine also has an extra threaded hole on the top tube near the head tube. The number hanger screws into one (about where your number hanger is), but there is a 2nd threaded hole.


Does yours have that? Any idea what it's for? Was there a removable pump peg?
