Just plan ahead if you want a cicli barco one since I think currently lead times are at least 8-10 months!

Italian frames BITD were rarely known for their robust paint jobs (as opposed to oven-baked English enamel paint, which tended to be tough as nails). The phrase I heard was "quick-release Italian paint job." Cromvelato was the ultimate quick release Italian paint job. But oh, it was/is pretty.

The spokes on either side of the valve hole should be sort of “parallel,” not triangular, meeting at a point near the hub. Not a huge issue, but a detail that an experienced wheel builder wouldn’t have made. See the Pinarello’s wheels above.

Ah thanks! so thats why I found it annoying inflating these, the clarence to get the pump and hand in feels tiny compared to other wheels
