I was talking to Peter Rich (Velo Sport, Berkeley CA) this weekend and he told me the Competiziones were a model "spec'ed" by a US importer. He mentioned the guys name, which I will get again (with pencil in hand) next time I see him. I saw an early one, serial number began 16xxxx that was equipped as follows: HF record hubs, Fiamme Red Label rear, Blue Label front steel cottered cranks (no name) Gran Sport gears Universal 61 brakes Ambrosio bar and stem, non recessed stem bolt steel seat post with macro-adjusting steel clamp leather saddle. The seatpost was crammed all the way down and I didn't have a caliper to measure the diameter to check tubing gauge.
