A Medici Pro Strada was my first road bike. It was a Tange tube model, I replaced it with a Columbus tube model a couple years later. Both beautiful bikes that rode great, although the Tange model was little too whippy for me when sprinting. A friend of mine rode a tiny pink 49cm Pro Strada for years. I always check the Medici threads in hopes to see one of my old rides. Medici's were very common in the San Diego & L.A. areas when I was racing in the late 80's.
