Wheels and tape should be incinerated, and that chainset combo. Ew.

I know it's someones pride and joy and probably factory spec but Jeez... this is fugly.

As you say the tube shapes fantastic. A Somec's my best bike!

There's a movement with a lot of retro dealers to gold plate components or even frames to bling them up, very often asking over the odds prices for plain vanilla things.

The rear brake bridge is Cinelli pattern, so it could still be a reasonable maker. I think the bottom bracket will say a lot. This is mine...

Ask for a photo of the underside of the bottom bracket, a lot of makers did their own thing down there, cut outs etc, which might give a few clues. The swept back fork crown looks like a SOMEC detail, although usually these are pantographed. Many of the higher end Italian makers would curve the seat tube and top tube like this. The seat cluster isn't that fancy either, no fastback stays or distinctive lugwork, so I wouldn't get too spendy on it, all that glisters isn't gold.

I like the Berry one. Don't buy coffee if you drink coffee, from my experience you rapidly tire of it. Original Vanilla is miles better than the so called improved. Personally mint choc reminds me of that stuff I used to take for a bad stomach, but that's probably just the odd way my head works.
