After a ride around Seattle's Mercer Island yesterday I stopped by Il Vecchio - a great little bike shop on shore of Lake Washington - and had a long chat and coffee with proprietor George Gibb. Among other things we agreed on a complex trade and I ended up with 2 Santini wool items - one a jersey that looks like those offered recently by Dale (a yellow and blue "Gloria" and front pockets) and a very cool wool training sweater in Belgian blue with world championship stripes. Both are very nice.
George said that these items were made by Santini for a movie, possibly on the life of Coppi and his exploits in the classic period. Can anybody confirm that ? Steven Maasland, have you run across this movie in your travels ? Would be "really cool" to get that movie, maybe we could bootleg it "for non-commercial purposes".
