What did I buy? Frame Identification Please
So I recently bought this used bike off craigslist.
1. The seller told me it was a Torelli Montefalco frame (possibly an early prototype), rest of the parts are from an old Giant TCR; hence the fork.
2. I took it to a highly reputable bike shop (that's a Torelli dealer) and they agreed it's a Torelli. The owner believes it is a first generation Montefalco (was there such a thing?)
3.
- It doesn't look like any current Torelli models: Selvino or Montefalco
- It has curved seatstay and chainstay, no cables through the headtube (Montefalco does)
- No model # or identification anywhere on the frame.
4. I'm aware that it's probably a generic carbon frame made in Taiwan that many brands market (Torelli included) but I'm very curious if anyone knows exactly what make/model this one is? The curved seatstays are pretty unique and unlike any of the aforementioned bikes. For the price I paid, I am very happy with the bike but the lack of identification is just killing me.
If more pictures would help the process I would be happy to post them...
Thank you all.

I can't help you on identifying it, but damn...that looks nice! While your waiting for somebody to identify it get out and ride some more!
