Dave and list,

That Detto looks like my Lazzaretti, which makes sense as Lazzaretti is a shop in Rome as Detto is a shop in Milan. Mine was built by Biemmizetta (BMZ) and shares those lug windows and that certain Italian bike purposefulness that I love so much. I wonder how widespread store branded frames were in Italy? We have our share from Paolo Alto, CDI, etc.but I'm wondering about bikes from the Motherland...

I know list member Norm Hellman has a beautiful Lazzaretti as well. Maybe nicer than mine.

Mine is a straight Super Record build, a quintessential 70's amateur racer, if you will. There are some differences in the frames, but either way, these are bog standard high quality Italian frames, that's for sure.
