THE PARTS WERE ORDERED TO RINO IN ITALY. But there were other brands that did make the pieces here like GIORGIA in the city of ROSARIO. and SAVORETTI also from the city of ROSARIO. I SEND YOU PHOTOS OF SOME savoretti things. The CRANKSET that you show are a real curiosity since they are from the first times of saavedra. The GAMBATO changes were also built here and GIANT ROBER under license was made in ARGENTINA.

A friend brought back a repainted frame from Argentina that had that design cutout on the lugs. Did they make any frames?
