Bikes: Are several.

Cramerotti had some nice bikes built over the years, that's for sure.

I remember buying a Deda bar and stem from Guiseppe Cramerotti himself just a couple of years ago when the website for Campione still was still up, but after the retail shop here in Vancouver had closed - you could call and make an appointment to meet him at their warehouse/storage space on Ontario Street to make purchases from the remaining stock.

Campione Cycles, his most recent bike business (la Bicicletta is still around on Broadway, but he's no longer involved there), subsequently went bankrupt and remaining stock was sold off by a liquidation specialist on Marine drive a year or two back. Lots of deals to be had there; I snagged a $125 Dura Ace 7700 triple crank, some $10 7700 FDs, a $5 Chorus front hub, and lots of other bits and pieces - but I regret not picking up a Cramerotti frame at the time (even if the newer production still on hand was a far cry from your classic Columbus SL machine).

I see Cramerotti bikes around a lot here in the city - of varying vintages, many very nice.

A friend has a Cramerotti 'funny bike', quite unique (and fast). I've come close to picking up one or two, only held back by questions of fit or timing.

I'd echo the suggestion that we would very much like to see some good pictures of your bike!
