"The beautiful Van Herwerden bike that was on ebay a while ago was either build by Zullo or by Chesini. Both is possible, Van Herwerden worked with both builders. Next, the brand name Zullini was a name that Van Herwerden came up with, a combination of 'Zullo' and 'Chesini' (obviously). Even the font of the name Zullini is the same as the font of Van Herwerden."
I'm very happy that you did indeed dig out the truth here. I was 95% sure that I had heard of the van Herwerden bikes being built by Zullo, and that the Zullo/v.Herwerden tie was also instumental in bringing about the Zullo/Cees Priem tie that led to TVM riding Zullo bikes. When you brought up the Zullini name, I was then thrown for a loop and started questioning my memory.
