Name that Italian frame
Guys-
Need a little help here. The name of this builder is on the tip of my tongue and I can't remember the damn thing. Italian lugged frames, 70's-80's, but the distinguishing thing is that for a long time their down tube logo was in a really funky font that looked like it might have been designed by Keith Haring or something -- thick, almost cartoony letters. It really stuck out next to the staid fonts of the Benottos and whatnot. Someone please help me out here, this is driving me nucking futs. HELP!!!

i guess dude didn't check back on his own thread, but i guarantee the first guess was the best guess- that rossin font blows my mind, every time. i want one of them. i want ten of them.
