<< I just bought a Riggio time trial bike from the mid/late? 80s which has a 24" front wheel. It is SL tubing with lugs and very nicely made. The seller told me it was handmade by Joe Riggio of Clarence New York. Is anyone familiar with this frame maker? >>

I had forgotten about Riggio. I don't think they/he made anything themselves. That was a house brand set of decals they put on various Italian bikes. Who knows who made it! The retail shop was the House of Wheels I think? They sold many brands wholesale, importing stuff themselves.. Anyone else remember those guys?
