Hey Joe:

I think that was Craig Bozorth or similar.

Funny because IIRC he was also the guy who, in the late 1970s/early 80s, imported the: - Freschi (we were just talking about them on the list, being the unusual Italian concern to make touring models) - The repro Paris Galibier.

So any Floridians heard what has become of Craig? Dale Brown Greensboro, North Carolina USA

I sold several Picchio frames in early 80s imported by William Lewis. They came into US in small batches. We were always after the coolest stuff here in Denver. We sold purple but mostly silver ones with yellow decals. Problem was supply. Hard to push a frame and then you could not get that size. Plus there were never any spare forks etc. I also did Calzone frames. The green ones, again with yellow decals. Brutally rare and hard to get from some guy in FLA. (Bozorth?)
