I have nicely engraved Pivo bars on my 1977 Motobecane and, thanks to a CR member, a matching Pivo stem. Both are very durable and well made. I don't think Pivo made anything else, though. Kind of like TTT (or 3T, as some people say), who only made bars and stems.
I have seen Magistroni cranks and Excelto hubs, but that's the extent of my knowledge there.
