Brent:

I will be publishing some information about Sabatinis soon. Unfortunately your bike was one of about 30 bikes that were shipped to Canada to a distributor and never paid for. Other than these 30 bikes, Sabatinis were never shipped overseas. Sabatini was a craftsman for sure, building each bike by hand with his family playing a part by applying decals and assembling the components. Please send me a photo of your bike. I have a Sabatini track bike and would love to find others who own one of these gems.
