I probably should have linked to the first photo showing the front of the shop.The old bikes hide up on a mezzanine that is hard to get to (did I climb a ladder? obviously liabilities are quite different when you dont have 4 law offices on each corner) They are now just a Bike Shop with no sign of the original shoe store or any of those wonderful shoes.There are lots of photos of the old days when Coppi and others used their product. He was quite kind and though he did not speak a word of English he was quite appreciative of our visit. I would recommend the stop to anyone visiting Milano
