Hello,
I need some help I.D.'ing a frame.
I finaly got some photos online of a presumably
70's-80's italian lugged track bike I found in the
trash in oakland 3 years back. The story is on the
webpage for those who are interested. It has some neat
lugs that I have not seen before, but my knowledge is
less than encyclopedic.

And a brief introduction as I think this is my first post to the CR list.
My name is Tarik Saleh, I live in Knoxville TN and am a grad student in materials science.
I have previously worked in the bike industry on and off, mostly at Kelly bikes in Oakland. Kelly does (or did) lots of repair of lugged steel stuff, so i have seen a fairbit of naked 70's lightweight stuff, I like lugs, even though Kelly mostly Tigs and fillits. I am a hack (at best) with the torch, though.
I recognize most of the people on the list from the BOB or framebuilding lists which I am very and kindof active on, respectively. I ride my bikes incessantly and race a fair bit of cyclocross and single speed MTB races. I noodle around alot on my road and track bikes club rides, solorides, and all sorts of commuting and shopping.
I have 14 or so bikes, the only ones that really fit
the CR list period and style are my '74 Raleigh
Competition

Anyhow, I hope mostly to continue lurking, but I am most likely going to make my way over to the cirque this year and thought I would introduce myself beforehand. If I make it I will probably wear an army green KELLY bike T-shirt. So say hi...
Thanks for any help on the bike ID.
Tarik
