Regarding the Galmozzi,
Is there certainty that the cable routing and bottle braze-ons are not original? Such features were certainly common, although not in Italy, at the time. And the internal cable routing does not look like something a contemporary builder would add.
My only curiosity was the crown, as I'm not familiar with early semi-slopping crowns, but my sense was it is correct, and I did see a similar (if not the same) crown this past week and my understanding was that it was indeed an old example.
Galmozzi frames seem to be quite gorgeous - and after missing out on one at the Cirque and looking at it, there is no mystery as to why they should be valuable.

\r?\n> Galmozzi frame-fork-chainset went upto 3750.00. A nice Italian bike?

\r?\n> mount are NOT
\r?\n> original, of course a neat repaint/laqure job...

\r?\n> price I thought, but what makes Galmozzi to polular and highly soughted in
\r?\n> the US?

\r?\n> Cinelli-Masi, those two top Italian bikes, polularity has been known very
\r?\n> well, but what is about
\r?\n> Galmozzi?
