Subject: [CR]Fiamme Bar and Di Lusso stem questions

Folks:

I attended the Bicycle Club of Philadelphia's annual swap meet this weekend where I happened upon (and procured) a Fiamme bar marked MOD. FIAMME with knight's helmet engraving on the opposite sleeve of the bar. It also included a recessed bolt-equipped stem stamped with IL PRIMO DI LUSSO. What approximate vintage are these and is the stem also a Fiamme product? I vaguely recall a discussion on the Di Lusso but seem not to have saved the correspondence.

Also acquired a 27.2 Zeus seatpost. Not too much other vintage stuff of interest. There were a few older frames but none of the attractive ones were my size. Not a great amount of vintage equipment but a pleasant ride down the Schuylkill trail from Valley Forge to the Art Museum in Philadelphia on my '78 Falcon. Also saw some nice old stock out on the trail including a Zeus track bike.
