More Info:
Gironelli was a brand made up by German manufacturer Winora and sold through the equally German mailorder Neckermann. Supposedly the frames were manufactured by Atala, at least they have the characteristic dropouts found only on Atalas.

Eller hur? ;)
Apparently Winora had a few entry- to mid-level road bikes to offer during the 80's...and some great advertising: http://goo.gl/L7VrVS
