Somec build with Reynolds 501 SL tubes

I found this frame time ago and I was very surprised that is made with Reynolds 501 SL tubes. I read somewhere in another blog that Somec made with Reynolds tubes some frames just one year in 80s. That means that is quite rare to find them.Decal set made by BiCals.

 

History from the official SOMEC web page:"

Romagna is a region where the passion, the devotion, and the love of the cycling are at their apex.At the height of their creativity,a local bicycle fanatic from the Romagnola town of Lugo, Oliviero Gallegati, began in 1973 to manufacture exquisite custom road bicycles.

SOMEC is the name that Mr. Gallegati decided to give to his new enterprise. SOMEC comes from the Italian "Mechanic's Society" acronym, "Societa' Mecchanica".
In the beginning the bikes were sold to local cyclists but with increased exposure at international bike shows, SOMEC received orders from many foreign customers fascinated with the work of SOMEC's superbly skilled artisans.

Now SOMEC distributes its products all over the world."

and old Catalogs.

The lugs and the fork crown are different of the other Somec frames and the drop-outs are Columbus.
