I picked up a mid/late 60's Garlatti today and after reading the archives and looking at Dave Martinez Cinelli Riviera on wool jersey gallery, I would agree with the general consensus and say the Riviera is made by Garlatti. My frame is virtually identical.
The Garlatti does feel like a "lead pipe" bike as people mentioned, but after seeing Dave's bike I felt like I should get it, cheap, and pretty. The perfect date!
