The background of "TURCONI" Italian road bike
I just obtained a "TURCONI" road bike from an Italian eBay seller. The seller had no idea about this bike. The bottom bracket of this bike has Italian thread. It also wear 5-color ribbon on the frame. The equipments are Campagnolo drivetrain, Gipiemme Crono Sprint brake set, and Miche Crankset. I am very new on vintage bike. Can experts here tell me the background of this bike?

Not a maker I'm familiar with. Sounds interesting though. Hope it's as nice as you are expecting.

I haven't heard of Turconi, but that isn't surprising as there are (were) a lot of small builders in Italy.
I did find a 'for sale' post at an Italian web site, the bike is selling for €1000 and is pantographed with
full Super Record components.

still can't see them... Nothing shows up with Firefox, brocken links show up with IE. (Have not tried Chrome, Opera or Safari, and I won't). Either something was broken with yesterday's update or (more likely) the permissions to link at these are not there (as the 403s indicate)
