Hello. I've owned and ridden a Fiorelli/coppi for about ten years. Any info on quality level of bike would be nice. Bike came with Ofmega headset, bottom bracket, cranks, and hubs. Ambrosio rims were trashed, found old set of Campy sewups with double butted spokes and Record hubs. Campy down tube friction shifters attached to Nouvo Gran Sport derailers. Universal calipers controled by Campy levers with exposed cables.The words Coppi are written on both sets of dropouts. Also the number 2 is stamped on bottom bracket shell and steer tube.Thanks for any input. I've ridden this bike thousands of miles and it works like a sewing machine.It's also a great conversional piece on group rides, people always ask what are those little pieces of wire almost touching the tires at both brake calipers.
