Judging by the fender eyelets on the track ends, the fancy-pants lug shorelines, the relatively relaxed geometry and (what sort of look to be) wrap around seat stays, I'm going to guess that it's an older, British, path racer frame. If the price is, as you say, right, then you should go for it. The cinelli finishing tape is just for show, I'd imagine.
That would be a sweet effing city ride.

I agree, if the price is right, that bike could be built up into a beautiful street bike. The lugs, stays, and brake bridge seem to have details that a builder wouldn't have put into a crap frame. Just make sure that the inside isn't completely rusted out. And before you build do some serious rust treatment.
