I saw their stand at the 1989 Milan trade show. Only one sorta high end racing bike and not imported to the States. Mostly family/utility/kid bikes I seem to remember. Huge photo of Fausto on their stand though!
At the show in 1995 they had a pretty good size booth with _lots_ of high end racing bikes. Must of had some new investors or changed owners or something...
BTW Gino Bartali had a large booth at both shows I went to and I never saw a Bartali bicycle in the US.
