if that is a 59 or 60 and you don't want it I DO!!
I think it may be all Victory or Triomphe mix. that likely, if original, would make the frame Alleish? maybe a highend Tange yes?

that is nice looking great find. also another way to tell Vic from Triomphe is the capnut on Triomphe is hollow while Vic is the truncated cone. also the style of the shifter is slightly different. while Vic has that smooth top and the 'barrel' of the shifter is offset the barrel on the Triomphe is more centered like the older Record ones
so was it the exhusbands bike?

So would a good guess be that there is chrome under the paint..................?

why would you think there is chrome under the paint? if there is it would not be shiny 'show chrome'. most companies who used to chrome for stiffness (I am not sure I bought that) and corrosion would not have done a CroMor bike

well as I said there was a time when chrome under tha paint was common on higherend frames.
I had a customer a long time ago with one of these, it was the first I had ever seen. it was the most exquisite orangeish reddish chrome color, it was very captivating. ful SR nice wheels, and saddle. he had this annoying tick and we tried everything. I finally, to my suprise, talked him into letting me take it home and ride it. it rode great and the noise was no big beal just a pedal or something. but I don't think I will ever forget that ride on this, at least to me, exoctic rare and uniquily colored bike. now I have ridden my share of nice bikes but like a Coicc these just seem to have some mystique to them
wait a second, did you add this Scapin to your signature already?

that finish is called Cromovelato in Italy and since this Scapin is a Cromor-tubed model it probably does not have chrome-plating (it would be more of a budget model). But since it's a Scapin it will almost certainly be a fine ride, and great score for $150!
