I have a basic Marinoni question... there have been several references to Marinoni in Canada, but I know for a fact there is a Marinoni in Vermont, USA. Are the two both owned by the same family?

I own a Marinoni/Raleigh Team USA frame and have talked to the Vermont location. They will be performing a top tube repair for me shortly...

The URL for Marinoni in vermont is as follows: http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/FBeauchemin/Marbikes.htm

Giuseppe did like the fancy cutouts. My '82 Marinonni came with Maple leaf cut outs, painted white to contrast with the red w/ yellow panels paint job. I seem to recall there were other options too for cut outs. I specified the maple leafs due to my family ties to the Brantford Ontario region. I wonder if the bike in question was originally delivered to a buyer in Quebec?

Also, I have the same head lugs and fork crown on mine, but have never been sure who made the lugs. I was told by the shop (Multigear of Ann Arbor, long since defunct) that the bottom bracket was Cinelli, but have never been comfortable with that identification, and I certainly suspect the lugs and crown are from a different maker. Can anyone elucidate the lineage of the crown and lugs?

I do like those cutouts!! Anybody planning to come to Cirque from Alberta, Canada that might want to stuff this one in your trunk for me? I seem to recall someone recently talking about the cost for customs for shipments from Canada. I know of one instance when that happened to a buyer and I think the custom fee was quite hefty. Without knowing for sure is kind of like accepting "buyer pays shipping" without establishing up front exactly what that means to the seller.
