Identifying a Cramerotti
I've got a cramerotti bike
wondering what model it is?
What year it is made?
It has Shimano 105 components
12 speed
Campagnolo rims
The only thing that I can find on the bottom bracket is the number "50".

We have a problem as the components appear to be mixed. The dual -pivot brakes were introduced in 1990, but 105 had already gone 7 speed by that time. The 6 speed back end, indicates earlier. The pedals look like ATB models. You can visit the Components page of the Vintage-Trek website to determine the age of the individual components from their date codes. However, if the spread is more than about a year, it won't be of much help in determining the age, as it indicates things were added and/or replaced.
Cramerotti were typically sold as frames then built up from various component packages. The model of the bicycle will depend on the tubing. Is there a tubing label? I couldn't see on in the pics. Prior to about 1990 they did have model names. Starting about 1990 they went simply based on the tubeset and component group. (i.e Cramerotti SLX Chorus).
