Hi Joachim!

Yes, "Viemme" it's the name of a big company specialized in bikes spare parts. :D

I go here for "Dell'Orto" spare parts, "SKF" Ball bearings, cylinder polishing operation and new rod, new piston and their assembly.
Well it's comfortable have it near my home, but usually, for Gilera spare parts, I go to other companies, that have spare parts of no more recent bikes.... :wink:
