Question for the Jerk

[saab2000]

Hello Jerk,

I own a Grandis which I bought in 1987. It is a good bike and I like it. I know that you have some knowledge of Italian frames and this one is a bit obscure. It is not well known and I have never seen it under a "name" rider, but it claims to be "Campione del Mondo" and also to have been an Italian Champ as well.

Is it possible that the Grandis is/was a bike made by a lesser known builder who had his bikes ridden under different names? I believe that this was/remains the case with Pegoretti.

Anyone?

Saab,

I have somewhere in the "archives" an early 90's review of a Grandis Minimax frame from the long departed "Road Bike Action" magazine.

From memory- and my memory about these sorts of things is pretty good (not so good about other things !)- they thought it was great, and they did'nt necessarily love everything they rode.

Would you like me to dig it out? I probably will anyway, just because I'm just as obssessed by these things as most of the nuts here.
