I concur that this bike is a Supercorsa. Only thing is that there are no clear pictures of the fork crown and fork ends. From what I can make out of the crown, it is likely not a Frejus fork and the one shot of the dropouts seems to indicate they are thinner than Campagnolo dropouts, which is what they ought to be. So I suspect that the fork is a replacement (also because it is all chrome) but cannot be certain without more detail.

Have been lurking here for a week, thought I should finally say hello. I'm Mark Battley, from Auckland, New Zealand. I have been here before for a while around 2001-2003, and then went into hiding. Last week I purchased a "project" 1950s Frejus from David Benson who also lurks here, so thought I would join up again. I'm also into Italian cars, so figured I should get a rusty Italian bike to match!
