let me add a bit of catalog material

First of all some pages from an catalog from Velo Sport Bozen (Bolzano, it seems that this isn't existing any longer) from 1989.
This has a nice overview of cool italian MTBs from that time

Colnago Ad

It looks like those guys had been a bit jealously looking at the nice image of the US MTB brands

This brochure page is very likely anyhow know by everyone interested in Italian Bikes
