Apparently this is an Italian made frame, I found it at a local bike show for 100 dollars. Aluminum construction, real nice bike. All Italian, I talian-threaded BB and Campy dropouts.

This is the perfect bike for my next Italian Job, as I like to call it, to restore much the way I did with my Ciocc. Here is the catch:

It appears one of the lugs is cracked, right in half. How easy is this to fix? Can it even be done?
