Once in awhile Gianni, the main man, would come up from the LA area (I think) & ride w/ his brothers & the group. Biking was a complete family affair w/ them. We used to meet at Carlo's, his brother's house, b4 the weekend ride. A strong rider back then at 65 years of age. I learned a lot about riding from him. His other two older brothers were usually present as well. They each had their own Medici & I see them occasionally on the same bikes. Carlo had a real nice red & white Campy outfitted model w/ Delta brakes...IIRC.
Such a small world. I have a friend who is friends with Carlo, and met him in MA, where he now lives? My friend is an avid rider, but modern bikes (though he appreciates my vintage bikes). Anyway, my friend is moving to TX, and Carlo has told my friend that he has an old Italian custom bike that he is going to send him. Can't wait to see what it is!
