A starter.

Past that, perhaps CDM could speak to personal experiences with brand?

From my perspective, I brought back a Superleggera for my son on our last visit to my wife's family in northern Italy.

Damaged in shipping and I ended up filing a claim.

Since sold the bike to a friend that had it repaired locally.

The frame was beautifully detailed with panto'd headbadge and an exquisite fork crown.

The seat cluster and drop outs were also noteworthy.

Very, very nice!

fwiw My wife's uncle actually rides a Grandis 29er mountain bike as an adventure bike in the Bavarian foothills.
