his milanosport is not the same as what you're referring to here. milanosport was a 'generic' level frame in italy in the 50s and 60s. two different animals. also, 'he' only lost the legal right to use his name in north america, nowhere else... ergo, alberto masi IS NOT making reproductions or forgeries of the reknowned 'generic' frames of so many years ago... e-RICHIE... getting psyched to try reproducing in the a.m.
