PEP Magni (late 70's)

PEP Magni was a bike shop located in Baggio, Italy, and owned by Peppino

Magni, the former mechanic of the Italian Professional Team (Fiorenzo

Magni, the great "third man of Italian cycling," was a member of this

team)-thus the name "PEP" Magni. However, the framesets were made for

Peppino Magni during the period 1975-1980 by Giovanni Losa in Vittuone.

Losa is a very respected framemaker who produced bikes under his own name

and for others including Cinelli. Although Mr. Losa's firm still exists,

he suffered a stroke two years ago and, sadly, is no longer active.

According to Mr. Granzotto, the "top of the line" PEP Magni" framesets

were made with Cinelli lugs.
