A friend has a bicycle he bought in Italy called a "Giomondi". He doesn't know much about it, except he bought it long (20 years?) ago, paid a lot, and the frame has the sticker shown below.

My impression is that there is a world of "classics" that never made it to the US, and so may be not well known here.

Anybody know what a Giomondi is, or what it's frame might be made from? An excerpt of an exchange about this is below.

Nothing urgent here -- just something that piqued my curiousity.
