I don't know anything about it, but I like it!

Welcome! (and don't worry about the English.)

Nice bike.
The noodles remind me of my mystery frame.

Unknown very light steel frame.

I bought this frame from someone on here. Nothing is known of it. It has two noodles at the top of the seat tube, Ritchey dropouts, S shaped chain and seat stays. It weighs 1600g which is the same as a titanium frame I have. I’m going to build it up as a lightish gravel / cyclocross bike.

Welcome. That's a nice looking bike, you've done a great job there. I love a good fade paint job, red and yellow is a nice combination.

Nice bike.

Carraro Cicli: an Italian brand, currently owned by Accell, which also owns Ghost, Lapierre and Batavus among others. Carraro made a series of Ayrton Senna bikes in 1994. An Italian bike forum might be able to give more information about your particular bike. Picture of the Senna bike from here: https://www.bonhams.com/auctions/25339/lot/138/.
