And another Holy crap! 
Very nice, well done! 
Very nice, well done! A few weeks ago I was smitten by the pictures of this Bertoni in the C&V sales thread. It came to me as a frame and fork with a few extra panto pieces thrown in. The original look was so attractive that I tried to stay true to it. I had a bunch of miscellaneous Campy components in my stash, so very few needed to be purchased. I saved the old Almarc bar wrap, as it's quite fragile, and substituted some Velobitz instead. (If I re-do it I'll use black thread.) It fits me well and the ride is super-smooth! Great example of Italian craftsmanship and beauty

Hi again PFB. Yes Milremo High Pressure pumps were the piece of kit that few had where I lived as a keen and up and coming cyclist in Liverpool.
I had one on my 19.5" 1937 Hetchins Curly(Vibrant Triangle)track bike that was later converted to be a road going bike with widened rear stays and Campagnolo drop-outs by the late Norman Roberts of Walvale Cycles,Liverpool and fitted with a 5spd Regina block and double Stronglight chainrings plus TA cranks.
I used to ride Sprints and Tubs back in the early/middle 1960's. The Milremo HP pump would just snugly fit between the BB and the underside of the top-tube.
Notice the Marcel Berthet Lyotard Platform Peddles in the images - I still have and ride those very same pedals today on my Steve Goff plus I have an additional two pairs.
One pair are on my Bianchi Via Nirone 7 Alu Carbon Flat Bar Hybrid.

Alpha = Alfa Romeo?

Yup. Always compared my Torpado as an Alpha Romeo. Quick, stylish and not too expensive. Then I got my Tommasini. I think of it as a Ferrari. Fast, expensive and sexy as hell. At least for two wheels.

Cinelli Speciale Corsa, ~1965 frame with ~1960 fork. Columbus tubing, thicker walled version (what would later be called SP). Best riding bike I have ever been on, bar none. It has a snap, a liveliness, that I have never before experienced. Cino Cinelli and Guido Valsassina knew a thing or two. And yes, the chain stays and wheelbase are as long as they look.

My 1984 Bianchi Tipo Corsa. I built it back then when I was working in a bike shop. I admit I'm riding my '85 Cannondale more these days, but the Bianchi is still my favorite!

Here's my Boeris that I made a post about the other week:
Boeris was/is apparently only sold in Europe so hardly anyone knows what they are on this side of the pond. This bike was gotten new from Boeris then brought over here by my dad sometime in the 1980's. Boeris supplied the bikes for the Fiat racing team and my dad worked for FiatAgri.
