This was just brought into my shop for serevice by a customer who bought it on eBay...

I have no idea who made this but it is artfully made. Features to notice... - Very refined and thinly filed lugs. - British threading - Very accomplished fast back stay treatment (no lumps, bumps or amateurism in joinery) - Domed stay ends (As from Reynolds or hand domed?) - Cinelli SC crown but what lugs? - Long socket BB shell, apparently not investment cast...? - Highly filed up Campag 1010 drop outs. - Expertly stamped frame numbers are a larger size than usual.... - Probably repainted and not-correct head decal. (Anyone heard of this "Seraboni"?)

What do you say? Someone might guess an Eisentraut or early Ritchey or even a Peter Johnson..... or?
