which is an enlargement
would seem to agree with Mike's comment that the 64 was only available in 40
and 38, not 42.
I assume this is a measure of centre to centre?
I have a set on my '76 Marinoni that came with it, it has the crest and
Milano. Is this the old logo of which you speak?
It is identical to the one shown on the first page in close up with red bar
tape.
It measure centre to centre 40cm, outside to outside is 42..
I'd be happy to take some pics of it and see if you're interested Jay.
Let me know
