Angel,
Thanks for the information. The big Cicli Romeo shop on Via
Torino in Rome was clearly a sales showroom (and service shop),
representing a rather large manufacturer. I think that the
Romeo bicycles they sold were the same ones you're discovered,
even if we sometimes have associated those bicycles with Rome
on this list.
If you're going down to Rome anytime soon, let me know and I
can send you the complete address of the shop in Rome. Perhaps
you can find out the full story.
Ciao,
