Any ideas which model this is?
Looks to be fillet brazed and have the strange internal seat post clamp.

To answer my own question: it's an Arcobaleno.

If you look at the other items the seller has for sale then there are about 20 unpainted Merckx frames, ranging from Corsa Extras to (one) MX-leader that I can identify.

The seller has the models and most of the sizes incorrect but the pictures of the bottom brackets are quite informative!

It's an Arcobaleno like @bikenrrd said. It is missing the seat post clamp though, which will be pretty much impossible to find I'm afraid.

Yeah, this seller has had a few threads running about his sales. I would avoid.

Ah, yes. Found the thread here:

I won't be trading in my purple Corsa-Extra for one of these.
