I think this sounds like an Italia model from 1968 ­ the number seems correct and certainly lugs of this type were in use then. Unfortunately the frame number is a year after the records stop. Len Ingram len@nutwood30.free-online.co.uk or 01249 650234 is the Hetchins registrar and may be able to help further. regards Hilary
