I've posted these before (and just recently in another thread).

I have a late 80's Giordana Capella frame that was designed by Dario Pegaretti for Gita and built by Billato. I need to move it up in the to be built cue so I can see how it rides.




I also have a pair of 1991 Lemond TeamZ wall hanger bikes with Campy C-Record gruppos. The frames were made by Billato for Lemond and Ten Speed Drive Imports (TSDI) who painted them in Florida. One has about 200 miles on it the other has never been on the street.

From a 2004 BF thread by a fellow named Bill who worked for TSDI:

" I worked in the paint shop at Ten Speed Drive Imports when that bike was sold. They were made by Belloto in Italy, imported into Florida and painted by a girl named Sue, I did the hand painting in the cut outs in the lugs and applied the decals. Needless to say, we sold a lot of those."
