Dario was definitely one of a kind....and will be missed. RIP

As someone wrote on another forum, one thing that went with him was a boatload of knowledge. He built frames for pros for years, those pros rode the bikes and gave him feedback which he used to improve the bikes. Supposedly in just one year he built 25 different frames for Pantani who was searching for that certain 'something'. While it was common at one time for builders to get that feedback there aren't many left with that type of knowledge any more.
