Bicycle Guide was pretty specific when they said “Mario Camilotto…builds all of today’s Supercorsas by hand,” in October 1989.

One of my buttons fell out once, so I just painted the recess a gloss black, and honestly, it looked fine. The original button was eventually found and put back in place with better glue...
