Rod,
I hope you've relaxed a bit regarding Steven's reply. You
might not have cared for his tone - and perhaps some of the
information supplied was not really necessary - but he did make
a number of points worth knowing. If nothing else, he gave a
good explanation of how business was conducted during those
years.
I suppose the most important point was that Marinoni was in
the same position as many frame builders in Italy. That is, he
was a skilled builder who supplied a great many riders in a
particular region (and a few elsewhere) but didn't achieve
"legendary" status outside of his own region.
Actually, based on posts I've read on this list, the same
situation existed all over the globe.
Best regards,
