Hello Dave,
Dennis Stone (Stones Cycles, Alameda Ca) once told me that many years ago, they began selling Gharidengo(sp?) cycles. One day his uncle came into the shop to announce that the Gharidengo bikes were made by prisoner labor. They felt that it was unethical and stopped selling the Gharidengo.
Maybe going there this afternoon-- Stones Cycles... Not prison. Dave Martinez Fremont Ca

The bike appears to be a Garlatti. According to infornation from Mr. Andrea Cinelli, Garlatti made the Riviera frames for Cinelli. The early 60s Cinelli catalog that I have indicates that the Riviera was only availble in 57cm. Still a cool little bike, kinda like a Cinelli stepchild.

"...they have everything" -- Jake Blues ------------------------------------------------------------- Garlatti? aren't those the ones made by the Italian prisoners. I thought it that or Gharidengo or Gamozzi or some other G italian brand. Which of these are the real prisoner bikes??
