Help with Fake Colnago ID
Hi everyone, I need help trying to ID the make & model of this bike I recently picked up. It's previous owner couldn't provide much info and said it's been in storage for a long time. It's very obviously not a Colnago and has been repainted (I knew this when buying it). It seemed like a decent mid-range bike for $100CAD. It fits me well and I plan on getting it powder coated a fun colour & riding the heck out of it.
The notable features of the bike are chromed Columbus dropouts & fork ends, chrome chainstays (I'll have take off more paint to confirm if left chainstay and the lower half of the seatstays are chrome), cable routing under the top tobe, and heart cutouts in the lugs. Though I am not sure what is original, it has a mix of Shimano RX-100, RSX and Exage, along with cinelli bars and stem, and mismatched wheels. The seatpost size is 26.0 & the bottom bracket shell is 68mm with both sides right-hand threaded. The serial number is B0035. From my research a possible candidate make is Miele, though I want to know what you guys think.
It also has a heart cutout on the top of the seat tube lug.

Plenty of good details and a s/n here so the experts should be able to get there on this.
