Subject: [CR] Patelli "SPECIAL" frameset photos posted to Wool Jersey

Just posted photos of a recently purchased PATELLI "SPECIAL" frameset to Wool Jersey.  Estimated age is late 1960s.  Built in Bologna, Italy.

Patelli is a marque that is new to me, with the only information I could currently find are some later catalogs on the Bulgier site.  A list member informed me that he has some Patelli literature, but has not been able to locate it yet.  I also recently purchased an "S. PATELLI" (Sergio Patelli) pantographed first generation Campagnolo Super Record seatpost for use on this frame, even though the date is most likely several years later than the frame age.

There is very limited information on Patelli in the CR list archives, and I would greatly appreciate any information that can be shared regarding Patelli.

If interested, photos of the frameset may be viewed at the following Wool Jersey address:

Thanks in advance for any information that can be provided.
