Hey CR Listmembers,

I've come across a Giubilato (approx 56cm) in a local shop; it's probably built of Aelle as it ain't particularly light & has a 1980's Ofmega headset. (all other components were replaced with Shimano 105 STI).

This got me to searching for info on this make; I found the Giubilato website, which also sells Ganna. In an internet search, I find that Ganna & Sannino are linked since the early 1980's. Sannino's were used by Russian teams in the 1970's & Ganna is an old make, named after the first winner of the Giro. The Giubilato, Ganna, Sannino shop has long been in Turin, but is now in Germany.

I notice this 56cm Giubilato has a long top tube, otherwise it's unremarkable. Has anyone here ridden a Giubilato? I'd like to hear your comments on it...this 56cm is too small for me to testride. Anything more on Ganna & Sannino?
