There is quite a bit of info in the CR archives. Grandis is here in Verona, still going very strong. Still very popular in the Veneto region. And, stil l making beautiful steel bikes (in addition to all the other popular materials). One of the coolest things in their window is a drop dead gorgeous fully lugged steel kid's bike.

I have my interview "template" finished. I'll first try out with CHESINI in the next weeks (I hope!), and then I'll meet with Grandis.
