clues on a Carrera
I am mulling this purchase (though long distance so I can't check threads and stuff -- even if I knew what to look for).
Could be Italian-made. Tubing is apparently Columbus, components are Campagnolo Athena.
I've read that Carrera team used Battaglin-produced bikes but when would Carrera have branded bikes as their own?
can anyone provide any background information or pedigree clues?

Wasn't Carrera orgionally a jeans company? Remember the pseudo denium bib shorts the team wore at one point in time?
