Liotto is still building in Vicenza; the name of the firm is now Cicli *"Li otto Gino* & Figli" (sons). Angel Garcia Verona, Italy...have to make a visit to Vicenza.....

snip: now - to be clear: these are not masi lugs and these are not masi-style lugs. as i have posted many times on CR, in europe, there were many, many fine builders that used a similar aesthetic and similar parts, and none of these were copying masi. liotto, tommasini, derosa, select (from austria), picchio, patelli, paletti....... e-RICHIE(c)\u2122(r)
