Pino had nothing to do with that "Lentil" bike. He was present at the time
of testing, with a bike of his own, which is the coventional track bike that
is on the CR Pino page. That bike, which was built in the "Centro Studio" at
the Olympic Velodrome, made it's way back to Detroit (Warren) where I first
saw it. I used to ride it around Pino's neighborhood....This was back in
1987/88. Pino was going back to and forth to Italy, bringing frames when he
returned to the States. The track bike , My 58cm road bike and a road bike
in grey primer that he said was built for Sarroni were memorable. There are
two floating around with Ron Finch http://www.finchscustoms.com/
hang out.
