Jim,
It's somewhat of a long shot but I think my Moretti frame was made by Viner most likely in 1974 or 1975 and imported by mentor, Cesar Moretti Jr.. If you go to http://www.wooljersey.com and search using "Moretti", you will find my frame. If you search the CR archives with "Moretti" you will find my previous post explaining how I got this frame.
I was sad to hear the previous emails regarding Imron and Ray Romic, as that was who re-sprayed this frame for me many years ago. The cycling community here lost an original.
