maybe it's just a bad paint job, or bad pictures, but the lugwork, and braze-ons look really lumpy to me. I've only seen a few Marinoni, but I didn't think they ever made any like that. Aren't the older ones entirely hand-built? Also what are the dropouts? they look stamped and not cast to me. If I just had to go with those pictures and my gut, I would say that bike is not authentic. Someone else please correct me if I'm off base.
