Rivola frame

[Old Ned]

A brand I've never come across before but I certainly knew of Chiesa because of Gimondi riding them early in his career. The bikes and frames shown above are lovely, such attention to details such as the seatstay, chainstay and fork ends. Not seen anything quite like that before. Thanks for posting.

Nice frame building what's the braze on under the seat lug on one of the frames?

similar details on Patelli from Bologna, Emilia-Romagna too.
or Bruno Fantini @ via Borgovado (6?) Ferrara, Emilia-Romagna, (probably) a student Chiesas too .
