Here is another 5 flute frame similar to the Gilco 4 flute style frame. I cannot verify that it is Columbus tubing, but rear drop-outs are Columbus and fork is fully Columbus (steerer, blades, and drop-outs).
Based on features I believe it is from late 80s before Colmbus decal style change (unless old stock decals were used), and rear spacing.
This does not match frames from the Santini marque based out of Forte dei Marmi Italy which has a 4 leaf clover logo instead of the bird's head logo featured on this frame. Quality of conjunctions is very good without gaps or excess solder which is amazing around the BB shell due to non-round tubing mating with round BB shell DT and ST nozzles.
"SR" mark (not Sakae Ringyo) cast into BB shell, Italian BB threads/70mm, internal shift and brake cables, 125mm rear spacing.
