Maybe this was outed already, but it's also an interesting example of a rather inauthentic paint-job that's not all that obviously inauthentic:

I'd almost be interested in it, it's a nice early 70s (or maybe even late 60s) italian frame...but check the paint. WAY TOO THICK! The painter laid it on way too thick and ruined the delicate lines of the lugwork. I know the really careful painters (including those among us) will go out of their way to lay it on thin, so that the lug-work is not ruined...

Nice bike, but not nice enough, thanks to an inattentive painter.
