I spoke with them at Interbike - and to tell you the truth, the person REALLY interested in the 'old stuff' was Irio's Grandaughter (i think it was Grand daughter... but maybe a young daughter ?? Her English was a bit iffy...). I hope to follow up and contact her - she's at the factory in Italy - as I'm still fumbling around with my 75 or so bike. If anyone knows her contact info, I'd appreciate it.

I had pictures of the bike, plus the nicely restored one up on CR, on my palm - and she really seemed to be interested. Said Irio would be interested in it as well.
