  1. 2nd pic from bottom... that was Visentini's bike in the '84 Giro. He showed up on it in the first long ITT stage and immediately he was not allowed to use it so he switched to a more 'conventinal' lopro (3rd pic from bottom).

  3. 3rd pic was Visentini in the San Benedetto del Tronto time trial in 1986. What I'm referring to is the conventional lo pro he switched to during the 84 Giro when he showed up on the monocoque 2nd pic from bottom.

  4. BTW the Battaglin monocoque was known as the PIRANA... designed and built for Visentini

  5. does any of you guys know if there are FiR discs (or rims) with a Campagnolo hub? I've seen them with Shimano or their own hubs but never with Campagnolo...

  6. Ok so I have a 2006 Model FiR HALLEY SYSTEM disc and six spoke, both are 700C. Does anybody know anything about them and where would be a good place to find info on them because I cant find much on the internet. The guy I bought them off bought them brand new in Switzerland for $3000 in 2006. I bought them and use them for track (Screw on cassette) and the disc on the road.
