A "la migliore, tutti fatto a mano, tutti Compagnolo LIotto" built by Giovani Liotto himself in Vicenza Italy. The frame was built for my odd ball American dimensions and my older racing age. I was 22 years old. In Italy thats to old to start racing. Rats, some time in the mid 80's it was stolen...

Wait, is that one of those Vintage Italian bikes that sell for crazy amounts of money now? I've seen a bunch of Classic Italian ads on my sales platform lately and they always sell extremely well. Vintage road bikes that have been maintained and kept in good condition are generally a great investment opportunity, especially if they're rare.
