What was the top model called, the one above the Specialissima? I've heard of it but can't seem to pin down its official model name, or how one would identify one.
The model called "Team" was above the Specialissima (in the 60's). But as a production model it was just a Specialissma without the exposed chrome "socks" on the fork and stays. And it carried a decal on the head-tube instead of a metal badge.
There were also actual team bikes built for professional riders and these can vary quite a bit in detail. Sometimes very nicely filed, and with interesting braze-on's. These are really neat bikes, I would love to have a good example in my size.
