Below the 'b' looks to be the side of a club/clover. And is that a spade on the side of the seat cluster? Looks like a quality frame. MauriceMoss is going to be busy.

I would want to know more about the black spot on the side of the seat lug in the fuzzy first photo. I hop that the home-made solution to a slipping seat post was not a set screw or through bolt. With luck it's a rather unconventionally located lug cutout.

edit: oops, sorry. I just realized that P!N20 already pointed this out.

Fork crown looks like a Dave Moulton Recherche', although I'm certain the frame is not.
Looks cool. I would definitely go and check that one out, if it was local to me. Very interesting.

It was listed in Indy for $50, good price just for the parts. I planned on getting it today since I was busy yesterday. Evidently someone had an idea what it was, sold quick.

good eye, [MENTION=96854]velomateo[/MENTION]: the fork crown is certainly one used by Dave Moulton on his Recherche' forks, but is that his own signature engraving on top, or an off-the-shelf crown? Not one I can ID either way.

is there a link to this ad? (FB Marketplace?)
I can't find much on the Berretto brand except it MIGHT be made by a Brett Richardson in Brisbane AUS, who seems to have favored Reynolds tubing, here's one of his track frames:
https://www.pedalroom.com/bike/berretto-track-16544
and of one of his earlier seatclusters that does feature both the spade and "B" cutouts, plus similar shot-in stays:

The owner told me he contacted Brett about the bike to confirm it.

Well it does have Berretto stamped on the bottom bracket.
Nice to have better pics. Still not a bad price for an interesting frame.

well one mystery solved (and I also couldn't read that name on the BB shell, was too blindsided by the "Italian" spades to imagine anything from exotic Australia!)
But for my own knowledge-base and curiousity: who knows what make/model the forkcrown is?
Clearly one that both Brett R. can get in Brisbane, and Dave Moulton in California
