Return of the Rooster
Interesting piece from Angel Garcia about Galmozzi and some possible vintage replica steel frames:
https://italiancyclingjournal.blogspo...to-return.html
Apparently, someone believes there is a market for classic steel frames with famous names. Not something I'm personally interested in - at least at present - but maybe still good news for fans of vintage steel. Especially given the interest here in contemporary "classics" from full-range builders such as Tommasini, Ciocc, Zullo. Will be interesting to see how much they capture the character of the original marques, or if they're merely traditional SL frames with different decals.

I hope they do it right. I really like their old bikes.
I also would like to see someone will do similar with Frejus, and stay true to the ostentatious coloring and decaling schemes. Those are some beautiful bikes. I've been a fan since I saw them in my uncle's shop back in the mid 70's.
