There isn't a lot of info out there on Coppi bikes. My "modern" bike is a Coppi Neuron with D-A nine group. What is unusual about it is the lugged bottom bracket and a smooth blend at the head tube that looks to be fillet-brazed like my Schwinn Super Sport from the 70s. Very stiff frame, pretty steep angles, around 20 lbs in my 60cm size. The raciest bike in my stable, she is red, Italian, and a demanding thrill ride. Usually referred to as la Diabla Roja or the *****, as in "the ***** made me ride like a mad ******* for 2 hours."
