Everything on the bike is italian - save the bike itself (check pic no.4!).
This bike is a marvel on bad roads. It takes cobbles and similar obstacles as if they weren't there.
You'll soon find yourself looking for more occasions to enjoy this frame, smoothing out surfaces on which italian steed'd shake you through right to the bone.
This is the right frame for Paris-Roubaix.
Take a look at the brand's website: Vittorio today!
UPDATE 05/13/2008: last Update for a long time (probably). Silver rims and whitewall tires, black cotton bar tape.
Sadly, it's new look doesn't come through on those pictures; I think it's more "classy" and elegant now, in real.
