While on the subject of Gipiemme, I have some Gipiemme and Gipiemme-badged components on my Stan Pike. I always liked the crank and seatpost. Very Campy SR-ish, but different enough to be interesting and I can't tell much difference in quality.
Coincidentally, I have just loaded pictures of the Pike into PhotoPoint if anyone is interested:
