Simonetti was never in ChiCo, near Sacramento - they were in ChiNo, east
of LA near Ontario. (Amazing how one little letter can make a 300+ mile
difference!) A few years ago they moved to Huntington Beach. Their
address in HB was:
Simonetti Bicycles 18411 Gothard Street Unit G Huntington Beach, CA 92648
(714) 842-3206
Since Gian Simonetti lost his partner Mike Howard to unfortunate circumstances a little over 2 years
ago, I believe Gian has pretty much left the bike business. I don't think his shop is still open,
but it's entirely possible that mail is being forwarded from that address or there may be a
forwarding referral on the phone number. I'd suggest you try calling or sending a note, and see if
it gets forwarded to him.
Failing that, I'd contact CyclArt in San Marcos. I bet they have or can get Medici/Simo/Simonetti
decals. Jim Cunningham of CyclArt and Gian Simonetti worked together at Masi during the Mario
Confente days.
