Finished my dream Contini build but don't know much about the brand

Retro Newbie
I bought an old Contini Rekord with a terrible respray off of eBay for cheap and had it repainted by Mario Martini in Emilia Romagna. Recently finished building it up into my dream bike but I really haven't been able to find much about the brand. All I've found so far is that it's a Spanish brand where the owner basically plagiarized Cinelli's logo and branding. Does anyone know anything about the brand or model of bike?

Build specs:
Frame : Late 80s? Contini Rekord (tubing unknown, other Rekords I've seen online have a proprietary "Goi Design Profil 877 Tubing" sticker)
Rims : Campagnolo Shamal 16-HPW Tubular
Hubs : Campagnolo Shamal Hubs
Tires : Challenge Elite Pro Tubular
Rear derailleur : Chorus 10-speed
Front derailleur : Record Ti (looking for a matching silver Chorus one)
Crank : Chorus 10-speed Crankset
Bottom bracket : Chorus
Pedals : Look PP 296
Cassette : Chorus 10-speed
Brakes : Chorus 10-speed Brakes
Seatpost : 3ttt unknown model
Saddle : Selle Italia unknown model
Brifters : Chorus 10-speed
Headset : Campagnolo Athena
Handlebars : 3ttt Grand Prix
Stem : 3ttt Status 105mm (painted to match frame)
Tape : Fizik Tempo White
Bottle : Cheap eBay bottle cages, replacing soon

Gorgeous! Love the matched stem, and the choices for your build. Are you looking for coloured cages to match the frame or polished metal? The blue could really work if it was a colour match. 😁
 
i quite like that pain job! I see quite a few continis, and have seen their own GOI tubing, columbus and also reynolds. I'm not sure about the Cinelli logo - I think I did hear the story at some point, but can't remember it now.

They still have a website and shop: https://goicontini.com/

Thank you for these! Surprised that such a small outfit could do their own tubing. I just emailed them to see if they have any old catalogs or more information.

I would love to find matching cages to go with the dark blue / purple part of the tube, otherwise I think I'll do regular polished metal cages.
