    Description

    Up for sale is my fantastic 6-speed Giovanni 'Vanni' Losa bike.  Losa branded bikes are somewhat rare;  he made lots of great private-labeled bikes for others.  His greatest claim to fame may be that he supervised the manufacture of Cinelli Super Corsa bikes for many years.  Among the brands he made under a private-label arrangement were Pep Magni, Poretti and other top end sellers.  He is considered to be one of the best frame builders of the 1980's.  Note the stylized "V" on the BB lug and others.
    You will not find a better example of Losa's frame building talent.
    This very late 1970's/ early 80's bike has top shelf components.
    I bought this frame and had it repainted by Ed Litton Cycles/ Richmond.  He sourced the hard-to-find correct decals and clear-coated them. Here's more info you'll want to know:
