Luca passed while young and Passoni is effectively a brand that sources now.
I don't want to break the rules of discretion, but the person I bought the bike from dealt directly with Passoni...I feel pretty confident in the information.

Compared to the fork and stem/bar...rolling the tubes would seem rather more simple.

Very nice, both of them. Lots of cool details on both of them and neat about rolling the Ti tubing from sheets.
Must admit I've been searching for a Marastoni for some time, even looked when we were in Italy.
Yours, though, is simply a dream come true.

I test rode Aaron's Passoni last night. It's lightweight. And the handlebars are super low, so all I felt was a pain in my back. I hadn't used downtube shifters in a few years, but that wasn't a problem.
