By the late 60's it appears the Coppi line paralleled their Fiorelli road bike offerings, with similar model names and component packages. Thus you could get a Coppi (or Fiorelli) Milano-Sanremo with stamped dropouts and Simplex mechanicals at the lower end. Working your way up the ladder they made a Tour De France and Giro D'Italia model, with the top slot reserved for the Campionissimo Super Record. These top two models were made with forged dropouts from at least a couple of different manufacturers. The early 60's bikes I've seen rarely have any graphics calling out which model they were. I also haven't seen alot of Coppi or Fiorelli bikes that have tubesets called out with a label, although some of the lower-end ones in the 70's had labels specifying "Z50" tubing.
