Subject: [CR]Coppi / Fiorelli fork for trade

I have asked before here on the list for help figuring out what my chrome fork with a "C" on the fork crown was from (came from), guessing it might be C for Coppi and I have just confirmed that my hunch was correct. Nobody (on the list) was able to tell me what the fork was from, which was a bit surprising, considering all the collective knowledge on this list. A Coppi/Fiorelli is on ebay with the exact fork that I have. Actually, I want to trade MY fork for one without the "C" on it. The size of mine is for a 58cm frame, so its long enough for most frames (that you might have) and I need one about the same length. I would like a fork with a flat-sloping Cinelli type fork crown. I think that is the way it should be described. If not, maybe someone can inform me of how it is supposed to be called. The eBay auction with the Coppi bike is Item #230180785165. Apparently, not many of these were made and the guy that actually imported and distributed these wrote a comment in the auction about them. Does anyone else know more about these frames? Is 1976 to 1980 correct for the years sold in the US? I'm curious of what anyone remembers about these frames and their quality, etc? Email me or post your comments, please. Or if you want to trade for my fork. The eBay ad for the bike is not mine and I do not know the seller. It's just a reference to show photos of the same fork that I have. I have been looking for a bike with the same fork on ebay for about 5 years and only found it just now. Yeaa!!!
