Just bought:
cheap enough at $119., free shipping. I have no idea what it is, but looks 50s/60s with some upgrades:

I can't afford the old, expensive crap, though I love it just the same!
Well, what I see: lugs; no one's used those in a long, long time. Campagnolo dropouts, middle range or above to use those. And if its 50s, certainly upper-end because something lesser in the 50s they would've just used flat stamped ones.
Reinforcements on the fork blades; extra work, probably wouldn't bother if its a lesser frame.
Braze-ons certainly added. First common braze-ons to Italian frames just prior to the mid-70s were the bottom bracket cables guides, without those, doubtful there would be any at all.
Yeah, could be nothing but certainly worth the 119. to me.

I'm thinking it could be a Garlatti, only place I remember those lugs:

I was going to say Garlatti, or some version of Atala, perhaps.

Well, though a nice looking frame, it feels like its made from gaspipe. But, my son will be home from college this summer, and he wanted to build himself another bike, so I'll give it to him!

I'd don't think its a score or a fail, just a frame.
