Has anyone heard of Albini (no, not Steve of Big Black / Rapeman / Shellac / Electrical Audio fame)?
I picked up a road frame off Italian ebay for my wife. Got it delivered today (only 5 days to Australia! Amazing). Columbus fork ends and drop outs, I'm assuming Columbus tubing, amazing paint (pearl white with three colour fade). All it has is ALBINI on the downtube and an A on the head tube. I made her buy it because I'm a fan of the bands Steve Albini has been in / is in and she wanted a vintage steel road frame and this was her size.
Googling Albini is pretty hard, all I came across is this: http://bikeraceinfo.com/giro/giro1913.html and the name Pierini Albini, which leads to this... http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierino_Albini
Any other details?
