Coming from someone who watched his father ride Pinarello's growing up, and having always ridden Pinarello's all my life, on top having the honor to meet him in 2007. It was a bigger deal to me meeting him than seeing the pope in the same say. :eek:
Unbelievably friendly man, with a love all of things cycling.
Ciao Nani
