This morning I was able to meet Mr.Gino Vanni, here in Pisa, an old mechanic in his eighties, who has certainly been an excellent bicycle builder all his life, till his retirement some twenty years ago. Still quite lucid and an amiable person, indeed. He mentioned he sold his bikes (some were labelled VANNI, more often they were subcontracted and got around with different brand labels) also to far distant countries all over the World.

I mention this, just in case you have one such bike and would like original stickers for it.. Mr.Vanni has got a drawer full of them, but he is very keen about it: you must first submit a photo of the frameset, to beapproved.
