Giuseppe Drali died yesterday. He was a master frame builder for Bianchi’s racing division, following and assisting his father in making frames that carried some of the greats, including Coppi and Baldini.
Today everyone wants carbon fibre, because it’s lighter… technology moves forward, arriving at incredible levels, but it has lost the great art of brazing.
