Such a stunning color. Most any green bike looks good to my eyes, but this color in particular looks perfect on that frame.
I've always had a soft spot for Italvegas, and that's a particularly nice-looking one.

a friend in vancouver rode a similar era Italvega in blue, Had the chrome and all. He road it brakeless fixed back in the early days when people didn't call us hipsters and we just rode bikes a lot. That was when you had to build a conversion or ride a real track bike on the street.

Great looking bike.
Except for the lack of a derailleur hanger, not a lot of apparent differences between this bike and my '74 Nuovo Record. My groupset is a little different, but not much.
Mine had Gnutti hubs OE (I don't have them). Are yours Gnutti?

Holy smokes is that thing brand new? That thing looks spotless like it was just pulled out of the original box and built up today.

That is one seriously styley bike. Love the green. It's unusual to see an Italian bike that color.

I remember when those were introduced in 1970 or 1971. Great-looking bikes! I really like the color of yours.

Not much to add other than that is a beautiful, classy looking ride. It reminds me of a bottle of Dom Perignon.

Wow!, what a blast from the past.
Where the heck did you get that? It looks to be new old stock or is it a restoration?
