There are four interesting aspects to this wordy advert:

  • It introduces a new derailleur called the Vittoria Grand Champion.
  • It is still claiming Vittoria is the company of the Nieddu brothers, even though Tommaso Nieddu had defected to Cervino.
  • It refers to the remaining brother, Amadeo Nieddu, as a 'Cavaliere Ufficiale'. This is some kind of honorary title that is well beyond my comprehension but is presumably a dig at Tommaso.
  • It appeared in the same edition of Route et Piste as an advert for Cervino.

In Torino, revenge may be a dish best served a mutitude of times at a whole slew of different temperatures!
