yes thats the one, i'd never seen one before, looks really nice and what i can find seems to be a thumbs up , but can't find much about them.I know they are still doing the modern stuff, don't think this one is as old as 80's more like 90's i think.
It might be nice to have a rare one, i notice you have an Italian

indeed 
scapin was one of the finest and upmarket italian frame builder
very expensive frames new
I have an mtb from about 2001 in columbus foco that is very confortable
(so thin is the tubing that it pocs easily :? but that not a garage queen)
dunno about the road ones but should be in the same league
there is a post about it and some other scapin already
was bought a couple of years ago and now sells rebranded alu or carbon stuff :shock: :cry:

i have owned an el-os tubed scapin since new in ~1990. fantastic frame! workmanship is excellent. original unicrown el fork left a bit to be desired...heavy & stiff. raced it w/carbon fork & whatever shimano for many years.
yours is cromor, a lower end seamed tubing, but the same alloy as SL/SLX, so not altogether bad. in any case, it looks stunning! congrats.
recently had mine repainted (original color) and put a lugged chrome el mondonico fork in place...so far superior to the unicrown it borders on ridiculous. Complete with C-Record/Delta and some box-section tubies and it has finally become the Italian thoroughbred that it always should have been.
