Need help identifying Columbus/Gilco MS Frame please.
 
Hey folks, I have recently bought this road bike and if possible was hoping to find out who or what company built it. There are so many knowledgeable people on this site I figured I might get lucky if I made a thread here.

A bit about the bike....
It is made from Columbus/Gilco Multi-Shaped (MS) tubing. It has Shimano 10 fork ends and drop outs. The bb shell has the name "Martino Renwick" stamped into it which I am guessing is the racer it was built for. I searched that name and found nothing. It also has WK stamped on the brake bridge. It has a number hanger which may suggest it came from Europe. I bought it in Sydney Australia. I am hoping that the name Martino Renwick will be familiar to someone on here and will give a clue as to the builder.

Any help with this would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Sorry the photos didn't attach for some reason If you can be bothered clicking links here they are...

This is a custom job, no doubt...

as far as Martino Renwick goes, I think that it might be the italianized version of Martin Renwick a local to you Sydney racer

See whether you can look him up and talk to him about the bike.

Thanks E!!! Man I thought it was strange that it was an Italian first name and a British family name. The fact that it could be Martin Italianized didn't even cross my mind. Looks like I've found the original owner! Thanks again... I appreciate your help!

nice looking bike. I always felt that was another tubeset that never seemed to get a enough use. the BB shell is very interesting too and is the paint with lugg like 'points' on the seat stays.
