I knew it was a bit tongue in cheek, as well as trying to be helpful.
I will let the group know more in a couple of weeks.

No kidding! And it’s orig paint to boot! Now to figure out a build. I have a feeling this one is going to take some time.

I toyed with snagging this, but was only really interested in the retrofriction shifters, which I just found elsewhere. I also have a couple other oddball Italian groups I've yet to hang on frames, so you can have this. I think the drilling on the outer chainring is kinda cool. The brakes look like badge engineered Modolos. Not sure about the other stuff.

Guessing early 1970s. Trade off the crank + rims and you've got a classy machine.

And you were absolutely correct, my second in two weeks. The other was a a deal, but not half deal this was. Not sure which is cooler yet. Have to see it in person and get it rideable to evaluate. It will be a couple of weeks, stand by.
Some/most of these are or can be magical, I have no doubt about this one being any different.

Moderate surface rust on the wheels, tires are shot and a Stingray seat on a full sized bike. Let the rebuild begin!

Still need to find some full sized brake handles, run all the brake lines and make sure the shifting is correct
