For those who looked at the lovely Lazzaretti bike when the starting price was set at $5000, you may want to return to the auction now, as the seller has reduced the starting price to $2000. I dare say that at this new price the bike is quite likely to find a new owner. The saddle is not original, but all the rest of the components seem to be correct and in mint condition. Somebody already mentioned that there is a certain resemblance to Galmozzi's bikes in the headlugs and fork crown. Given the Universal mod.61 brakes and Campagnolo Gran Sport rear derailleur, one would think a 1961-63 bike if these components are original.
