Sannino was a well known brand back in the 70’s/90’s.

Based in Turin, Italy, they use to cooperate with Galli/Stronglight.

The original shop was in different locations during their lifetime but they ended up at the workshop based in the Fausto Coppi Velodrome.

In their final years Sannino were acquired by Corratec, a German Bike company.

As is with the blue of Gios, the thick red paint is one of their trademark features.

The Super Record brake levers were modified in order to fit internal routing cables which tidies up the handlebars and leaves no loose cables.
