>>> I spoke with one rider who told me he was riding a 1972 Coppi. The bike lacked any decals, and the paint job was past it's prime and likely was not that dramatic to begin with. I looked on the CR web page for anything about Coppi bikes, but couldn't find it. Perhaps I was just looking in the wrong place. Can anyone point me to online photos of a Coppi bike of this era? rob hawks<<<

Rob -

Although there is not a lot on the CR site, there is something here:

I have a friend with what is suspected to be an early/mid 70's Coppi road frame that's set as a fixed gear. It, too, is not terribly exciting, but still interesting. It has no Fiorelli markings, is sort of a medium gray metallic, with chrome HT lugs, stay and fork ends. The general lack of braze-ons makes it a nice looking fixie, and something you don't see every day. Something I think is pretty cool.
