Dear Tom,
I know some are overestimating my knowledge of Italian bicycles
and components but unfortunately I don't know anything about
Azzurro which means Mediterranean blue, the color of Italian
national teams. Sometimes I did not get any responses,either. I
have learned to make me understood that no responses means no one
has the knowledge or confidence on his knowledge. It might be
possible the knowledgeable persons failed to read,though.
Lazzaretti is an old shop in Rome. I know Galmozzi supplied
frames to it in 1960s or before. Do you know when this Lazzaretti
was made?
