Gilbert,
Tragically, Fausto had shuffled off his mortal coil several years before I got my
first tricycle, which also disqualifies me from any first hand knowledge of
whether Faliero Masi, or any of his minions, did, or did not, build frames him.
Callow youth that I am, I must rely on this anecdote from the Vinatge Velos
