Doubtful. If he ever existed, he died long ago
Unless you mean Jesus Montoya, who may still ride a bike

Information on the Funny Onion.

Early 90s BRAND COPPI Elegant model, this is a prototype never sold, handmade by Pelizzoli, (EX CIOCC) for the Flli. Masciaghi in a very small series of 10 frames.

The MASCIAGHI, had to market it abroad with the Rotello brand, and Alberto Masnada as a canvas artist, the project unfortunately remained only at the level of prototypes. Aluminium frame, handkerchief, varnished in briar wood, fork in gold-plated steel.
The frame remained as an exhibit in the Studio for many years.

Yes if you're paying?


It's going to be my homage to a vintage motorcycle... kinda!

That wagon slammed with my bike on the roof would be the bollox.
