Reprise, with my name & location & improved spelling ================================================= A friend has a bicycle he bought in Italy called a "Gimondi". 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 this may be one of those unknown but quality names.

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

S> I don't know if the tubing is Columbus. All it says is Tubazione Leggiera 0.9, with a tubing S> abel that say BZ with an M above (the M is spread out to look like two mountains, one above the S> B and the other above the Z).
