Don: I have no dates at all, one of the things I have been begging for is LITERATURE on the GRANDIS bikes. There is so little out there I have received nothing from those that have said that they either have or might have for catalogs, brochures, or sales flyers. So the answer is ...............I dont know for certain. Angel or Angelo in Italy never did get back on the questions I asked and he lives in Verona. Bruce

What year did Grandis start pantographing their insignias on the head tubes? Or was it a model level thing? Some of your bikes have transfers, while others have pantographing where the head badge is.
