maybe FB did get swallowed up by "Gnutti"....., or expanded and change their
name - does anyone have details of the Gnutti crank or an address from a
contemporary advert ? My guess is Gnutti are still out there, they just
don't do bicycle stuff anymore..

Based upon the various assumptions and speculations, its still not documented
that FB had no corporate ties to GNUTTI. As a bike component manufacturer, I
don't know if GNUTTI is still around, but they did change their name to
OFMEGA in the late-60s/early 70s, and continued to produce cranks, BBs, and
HSs on into the late-80s/early-90s, Legnano, Avocet & Bianchi being some of
their clients. Cheers,
