Italian oomph - show us your pantos

[thinpin]

Nearly all of my steel frames are pantographed or engraved to some extent. The most striking is this one. I love the attention to detail and over the top flamboyance in frames from this era.

I'm actually not wild about over the top engraving...too much becomes distracting and gaudy. The 10 speed drives stuff leaves me a little cold.

I like the engraved head badge on this one.

While nowhere near as fun as those lovely Zunow engravings I like these from my team Miyata too. That BB on the Zunow is just great.

Its the "gaud" that appeals! I agree the Grandis is a gorgeos frame, ive been looking for one in my size for some time. Olympia were another maker that had a similar engraved headtube, if my memory serves me. BTW if its the running gear on the Paletti you're referring to - it is 8s!
