just love these drillium relics.

Seeing a drill out steering tube is a 1st for me. ( for a modern build may be you can run internal Di2 Etubes )

Tam Pham who ran the now gone Chainedrevolution site bought a Colnago / Colner track bike frame that had a drilled steerer but much more restrained than this.
speculation it was a possible Hour Record investigation frame. Size looked the part.

there was a Carlsbad Masi decaled as a Confente that surfaced in Italy with a ball end milled fluted steerer, by the weight was made probably of Record tubing. Actually lots of tribute milling and drilling to the components too.

This one looks like one from an 85 Ironman.
