I own two Grandis including the "lovely" one linked above. A key point was made by Citoyen du Monde, in that they are undervalued. That was my experience in purchasing both that I own. They are VERY affordable for such a great bike. There are many very good Italian bikes that are not well recognized by Americans and as a result you can obtain some great bikes for not so much money compared to Colnago, DeRose, etc.
