My Medici Pro Strada is

59 0258

I bought it as a complete built up with gipiemme parts about 5 years ago along with a Windsor professional that was orange with chrome lugs and had Eddy Merkx decals.  The Windsor was built with Campy NR parts.  Got both from my uncle for $400

Dave Weigel Portland, OR

P.S. My Masi Prestige Pista is still for sale
