Regarding some postings recently. In one of the (few) old magazines I have there was a road test by David Howard in the Bike World issue of Oct/Nov 1972. Some highlights:

The Corresini bicycle has entered the arena of the world's best machines. Carefully introduced in Southern California as "the Italvega Super Speciale designed by Corresini," ........

The Italvega Super Speciale is still handbuilt......Signor Corresini is about 42 years old, He, and his father (who has his own lifetime of bicycle building experience), plus other family members guide nearly 180 people in the building of the Italvega Super Speciale bicycles.

There is a new Italvega about to appear called the Super Light. It will have an improved quality frame. ....drilled or cut-away parts will further lighten the machine
