Sorry to spoil the party then :/ it‘s still a very nice frame. Various framebuilders used profiled Columbus SL tubes. The Colnago Tecnos uses OS tubes, the ones on the Fanini look like non-OS. Good luck with the decision on the parts. I‘m facing a similar decision atm. I think the cheapest neo retro option is the 10-speed tiagra 4700 (~290€) with the added benefit that you don‘t have to get wheels with 11speed compatible hubs.

well it only owes me £170 delivered, I always wanted a chromed triangle bike when I was a kid, and this is soooo different. I might look at Tiagra yet. Thing is (and I know it's impossible of course) - but think I have too many bikes. I'm kind of thinking the Perks TT is hideously impractical, but then its so beautiful. My Tecnos is something I always wanted and in pretty lovely condition, and the Ron Cooper is just British artisan craftsmanship at its best... I'd struggle to sell one as I'm just emotionally connected to the things... not like that American on Channel 4 that shoves his junk up classic car exhaust pipes, you'll be relieved to know...

Ah no then, its something else, actually looking at it its very similar to my Colnago Tecnos tubing, its very light whatever it is, and should make for a great build. The seatstays are round tapered section too, so it's not MS. I think it must be an early foray into custom drawn tubes. I'm emailing him anyway tonight. I'd love to know more about it. The BB cut outs really nice, mirroring the Fanini F. It's Columbus Gilco, this lovely bike on The Radavist has the same profiles...
