Anyone know do bike shops like Vecchio's and Cycle Berlinetta...

In and around Montepulcianno, Siena, and Orvieto? Down here for a week, and would love to drop into a retro shop where I can perhaps find a classic De Rosa, or Gios. TIA.

Very nice compliment, thank you..

I rode around a few small towns in Italy when in the USN..in Palermo, Bari, Brendisi, Lovorno...in the 80s, no interweb..really hard to find one.
Found one in Palermo..

Did the same in HongKong...rode around..back streets..saw a window with 'tubes..thought it was a bike shop, was a plumbing supply store. samo in Japan..really hard to find one. In the early 80s.
