Judging from the pictures and other information you've provided, it looks like a 1968 Baccigalupi. Extremely rare, and worth thousands, but it could be a Modigliani, which is even rarer, and worth somewhere in the tens of thousands.

With all the information the OP provided, I'm pretty sure it's a Nopunctuatio.

I'm pretty sure it's an Ullbay Apcray. It's the ultimate shop-nipping frame.

Jack Frost is the ultimate nose-nipping frame.

I really have no idea who it really is, but I just don't get why people think posting this kind of fake nonsense is funny.

Cue OP pretending he/she doesn't know what I'm talking about.

Yes. Posts #5 and 21 are the tells. Last major outbreak was two/three years ago, iirc. @indyfabz will recall.

That's it; no more from me. Pointing out the obvious in this context is frowned on by our moderators.

OK, we can help but need a bit more information to narrow it down. How many wheels does it hold? Also, we need a precise chemical and/or metallurgical analysis of the frame material. Assay the selenium content and we'll take it from there.
