Seems sad that whoever was responsible for ItalVega at this
time felt the need to steal Pogliaghi's signature diamond
cut-outs. Otherwise, interesting bike with lots of drilled
parts..might make a nice donor bike (sacrilege!)

Actually, this bike was built by Torpado and shares the same frame as the
Super Speciale. I lusted after these bikes, but only afford the "lower" line.
This one looks quite original, except the rims should be Fiamme Yellow label
and the spokes should be tied and soldered. It's also missing the pantographed
3TTT stem and bars.
If it were larger and the starting bid were lower, I would be tempted...
