ANTONIO SANTAROMITA was one of the best gregario of the 20th century.
Between 1986 and 1997 he rode in 10 editions of the Giro d’Italia, 4 editions of the Tour de France and 3 editions of the Vuelta. In 1987 he finished 8th at the Coor’s classic and in 1989 he won the Giro del Trentino. He was the best gregario for teams like Ariostea, Magniflex, Chateau d’Ax, Ariostea, ZG Mobili, Gewiss and MG Maglificio. Yesterday I went to Lugano to pay him a visit!

SIMON and his new Cinelli Mash Bolt. Zürich. This evening.
YVAN’s new Mash Bolt. Biel. Yesterday.
The first time I ever saw a pair of JOSEF BAYER’s wheels was this summer at the Favorit Velodrome in Brno. They were a 3-spoke and a disc wheel. They were all black and aggressive looking, but they had a small green symbol on them, very speedy, very romantic. They made a strong impression on me and I asked the man responsible for the Velodrome about them. He replied by telling me about a certain JOSEF BAYER, builder of fantastic rims from the south of Moravia, but beyond that he knew little. The more I thought about it the more I realised that I needed to find this Mr.JOSEF BAYER, even if nobody knew how to help me, nobody had an address or contact.
