Didn't Lawee import Italvegas before Univega and then replace them with Univega due to quality, cost problems ? (Thought I read that somewhere once upon a time).

John "nearly bought an Italvega years ago" Price Denver CO

A friend of mine bought an ItalVega in the mid seventies. It was Campy equipped and a very sweet bike. He caught a pedal on a fast tight curve (chasing me on my Pugeot) and was much more concerned about his components than the missing flesh. He said his bike was pre-Univega.
