Lettering on the ebay bike is champione de italia, not del mundo. The champion of the world bikes were a little nicer. Columbus chromed frames/forks, nicer lugs (the right side stays were not painted but were chrome) with gippeme dropouts. I've got one that I plan to build up at some point, it is Italian made but has BSC BB. The year mentioned should also have a Colorodo Springs sticker. My frame is resting in my parents barn, if I get a chance I'll take some pics.
