Medici Bicycle Company
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Medici Bicycle Company is the name of an American bicycle manufacturer established by Gian Simonetti and Michael Howard when they left another bike manufacturer, Masi California, in 1978. Located near Los Angeles, the Medici catalog included mostly road bikes and frames.
The name Medici was chosen to for its association with Italian European Enlightenment. The Lion Rampant symbol was used for decals on the bicycle frames.
In the mid-90's they lost the rights to the Medici name, but continued on as Simonetti Bicycles.
