It seems unlikely; he wasn't even sure what model ItalVega he had. I got the impression that his enthusiasm and stable/backlog exceeded his time to work on vintage bikes. I really wanted to spend more time talking with the guy, but the shop was packed, folks were checking in on when their bikes would be ready, etc. I felt guilty!
Here's another way an Italvega can look set up for Eroica, my 1972 Super Speciale:

That's pretty! The shining touches like water bottle bands and cable holders on the top-tube are really nice, matched with the fork socks chrome lugs, and chromed bands on the downtube. I confess I'm keeping this build L'Eroica compatible, with dreams of 2021. I've not got a Sugino triple crankset now, modern but not too jarring hopefully in a classic looking build. Doesn't reach the level of drillium, of course!
