RS-- if the guy's gimondi frame had a bMz logo on it, chances RS-- are 100% that it's a biemezzetta product.

That makes sense, but (guessing) it may not exclude the possibilities that:

- the bike is associated with the famous racer Gimondi; or

- the bike decent in any event. It weights 22 pounds, which for a 70's bike suggests it may be okay (I haven't had a chance to check it out myself).

My guess is this (from a bike decal) is a clue:

Tubazione Leggiera 0.9

I have no idea what that means (guesses invited!), but often when a bike boasts about its tubes, they're in some way worth boasting about (of course, there's exceptions, like the bikes that boast "hi-Ten" steel!).
