Lou- I don't get Cycle Sport, but maybe I should. I own or have owned most all of the Italian bikes listed,,,,,,,,,and in almost the same order! Glad to see at least someone agrees with me. Cheers, Dave Anderson Cut Bank MT
P.S. Wait a mintue,,,,,,,,,,,where is the perenial fave, Cinelli? Maybe Pro bike riders don't even ride Cinelli?? Blasphemy! Tell them to get their tush on the bikes WE think are important! Damn the ride and handling, its looks that are important!! Blasphemy, Blasphemy!!! (^:=
