I know another Magni. It is Peppino Magni which was somewhere at the western part of Milano. He was a famous mechanic but not a framebuilder. His bicycles had Olympic mark on head tube.
    I think the bikes of the Philco team whose mechanic was young E. Colnago were Fiorenzo Magni. Is it correct? If so, did Colnago make the F. Magni bikes?
    I don't know A. Magni.

> Fiorenzo Magni was an Italian professional bike racer. The Magni frame that I have is somehow connected with an A. Magni I believe. Does anyone know if there is a family connection between F and A Magni? Was the Magni line intended to take advantage of Fiorenzo's celebrity status? Lou Deeter, Orlando FL
