Yes.
A complete bare frame was kept in the old factory. Italian restoration specialists found the frame and painted it with original decals.
So as for the frame it is NOS but for the paint, no.

I'm a big fan of your collection as well!
Nice job on your Bianchi EL/OS. It encouraged me to mix match carbon and steel components :)
