The funny real story about Ken's Monza is that when he showed up with it and was asking us questions about it at the Cirque last year, just to give him a hard time, I made up a bologna story about my recognizing the bike as being imported by a distant relative of Cinellis who had the rights to the name and that these bikes were made on the cheap and being sold out of a sleazy store in Paramus, NJ. He didn't go for it! (Ostensibly because he is clever, NOT that it wasn't a plausible tale!) Darn...
Now this fake Hellenic or "Gingeric" that supposedly was made in Italy? Let's get to the bottom of that, eh? Dale Brown
