I worked for a shop in Columbus, OH that sold Zullo frames back in the early to mid 80's. They were imported and distributed by a company called Wm. Lewis. I have a Road SLX frame that is made of lugged Columbus SLX tubing (SL was also available) and I have it built up with classic Campy Super Record components (picture attached). I still ride it on a regular basis and it has been the epitome of classic steel durability. I've taken pretty meticulous care of mine and still the decals are in bad shape, as you can see, being of the old lacquer style and before clear coats, so finding a mint condition frame may be tough. Some of the models like mine have engraved lettering on the BB shell, brake bridge, lugs and head tube that really add a nice touch. I did contact Zullo Tiziano a few years back and secure some stencils of their newer graphics, but I never had the heart to completely strip the frame and repaint it.
