Default Fiori Bikes

Can anyone tell me anything about a bike that was made in
the late 1980's and early 1990's. The company was called
Fiori. I used to own a Fiori Napoli and it was a beautiful
entry-level bike. Does anyone out there have a Fiori or know
how I might be able to get my hands on another (for old
time's sake).

Ah, you're Canadian. That explains it.

Fiori was a Norco house brand, and Fiori bicycles of that
era are essentially rebadged Norcos.

If you're more interested in the frame than the frame badge,
look also for a Norco or Nishiki of the same style and age,
since the frames will likely be identical. At least around
here, Nishiki/Norco/Fiori frames from then are very common,
probably the most common decent-quality bikes at garage
sales and in dumpsters. Your local buy & sell classifieds
newspaper will probably have ads for several each week.

Was your Napoli a road bike or a mountain bike?
