Got this cheap because of a bad paint job. It will go to Marinoni for a repaint and rechroming the head lugs. Full Gilco profiled tubing, Presta fork, internal rear cable. So what Master is it?: olympic, Piu...?

Has it been sprayed with a rattle-can? Those lugs on the head tube may be chromed beneath?

Is there a serial number on the rear derailleur-side dropout?

[edit: sorry, just re-read the text in your post, was too busy looking at the photos!]

Has a number hanger, so I doubt it's got chrome lugs.

But it's got chrome seat and chain stays? My 1997 Competition only has a chromed drive-side chain stay, and it's got chromed head tube lugs, and it was bottom of the pile. It also has a number hanger (but external cable routing on the top tube).

More info, rear drops have no stamping
previous owner thought it might be a Piu or Olympic, early 90's

That's true...........I have seen without chromed head tube lugs with number hanger, so that's definitely not a 100% indicator- my bad

But I could be right in my hunch!
