The Fiorelli track bike was nice, real nice. when I examine the lugs. I notice the seat lug and BB lug resemble that of my 57 Bianchi frameset. They really did share a great many styles in those days, I still await my oppurtunity to acquire a chrome lugged Italian Bianchi from those days, this would have done nicely for my appetite. Although a tad steep on the price. It also gets me wondering, who built the Fiorellis and where exactly? I see there is a gap and need for this info on Dale's site. Thanks in advance for any answers.
