WTB: Interesting European steel bike/frameset

Looking to buy an interesting European-made complete bicycle or
frameset(frame & fork) for winter project. MUST be steel! Size 60cm
(center-to-center) and top tube from 58cm~59cm. If frameset, needs to
be able to accept 9-speed modern drivetrain. Condition needs to be at
the very least very good. Some examples of interesting to me: Merckx,
Pegoretti, SOMA and I'm sure you guys will come up with many others,
some of which I've never heard of!

Please respond directly with full details
including; geometry, dimensions price and pics if you have some. I am
a serious cash buyer for the perfect bike!

It was late when I posted my ad. Of course I really meant SOMEC, not
SOMA (which I'm sure may be interesting to someone)

I've had a few folks question my bona-fides because of my Hotmail
address. Rest assured I'm a legit buyer, I live in the U.S. and will
pay via whatever method the seller deems is best for them, PayPal,
USPS money order, bank money order, whatever.

Torelli and Mondonico frames are very nice. I was just messing around on eBay
and saw this, which might interest you:

If you want a *really* interesting Italian frame with beautiful craftsmanship, I
have a 60cm Coppi Galaxy for sale. Not steel, but thin-tubed with smoothed-in
gussets, and very beautiful. Gets a lot of compliments.
