Spectacular!
What a transformation! So weird that someone put so much work into rebadging it as a Bianchi.

Fantastic project. My brother rode a Galmozzi fifty years ago. Beautiful framesets.
Any reason for leaving that seat tube ding?

My theory is that someone realized that many more people have heard of Bianchi than have heard of Galmozzi, and thus would be more likely to pony up some bucks for a Bianchi than would a Galmozzi. I hope it isn't that nefarious, but color me cynical.
