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

\r?\n> Hi Sonny,
\r?\n> Nice looker... On our So Cal vintage ride this last week, I
\r?\n> brought out my Pro Strada - and was reminded now nice it
\r?\n> rides.
\r?\n> Mike Howard was on the ride, and I asked him about the
\r?\n> Medici serial number database question. He didn't
\r?\n> think there exists a true 'database' of the various
\r?\n> Medici models that were built. The syntax is of the
\r?\n> numbering (i think) is logical and intuitive: You own
\r?\n> a 55cm frame, and it was the 2,615th frame made (or...
\r?\n> STAMPED !!).
\r?\n>
\r?\n> Mine has the 61 0387 - so it's a big 61cm,
\r?\n> pretty early one. Pic at:
