Cheers, and haha yes I too felt very guilty about not taking one of my Italian bikes, but needed all the help I can get to haul myself over those mountains. All my Italians have old school 53/39 cranks and most don't have a cassette with anything over 25 teeth, so I'd have done a lot more walking :)
One day I'd like to throw them all in a van and take them all on a trip home to visit their makers.
In fact since being here I've not seen a single old steel Italian bike, which I was very surprised and disappointed by considering Italy's cycling heritage.
I've of course been on the look out for old Lancia's and Alfa too, but disappointingly have seen only one, so this little beauty was the only old Italian steel I've seen.
