So the wheel is not made by Pino, OK ... but the BIKE was made by Pino,
right? Anyone have the long story on this one? Was he in Detroit or Italy when
this was built ... and when was it?
The wheel depicted in the photo found here
http://www.classicrendezvous.com/images/USA/components/Pino_1s.jpg is
wrongly attributed to Pino Morroni. Pino himself told me this was not
his work.
I believe this wheel to be the invention of the famous Itallian
biomechanics wiz, Antonio Dal Monte. I have the newspaper article from
IL Messagero from 1987 as well as photos provided to me by Pino
(autographed by himself and Moser).
