Here's my early to mid 80's Lo-Pro track pursuit bike. Its a "Berretto" made by Brett Richardson in Brisbane, Australia. (I wonder how many bikes builders from the 80's that adopted an 'Italian' sounding name for their frames?) He isn't building bikes anymore and I think he stopped building frames around the mid 80's. From 'word of mouth' information, I understand Brett is now instructing new frame builders. Berretto's are quite sort after here in Australia.

It's a great bike to ride with a comfortable geometry. I just love getting on it for a careful ride along my local bike path. I have had it on the velodrome in the past and it was an easy bike get up to speed and to keep on line.
