One of the problems in being ignorant about certain aspects of bicycles (there are many; this being only one) is that when I ask a question, like yesterday's when I asked about azzurro components and I receive no response, I cannot determine whether my question is so obvious no one wants to bother answering or it is so obscure that no one can answer. In any case, no one responded about azzurro parts, except one knowledgeable person who would also like to read any information on Azzurro components. They appear on a Lazzaretti bike.
On to another question: anyone know anything about Tigra bikes: swiss flag on the seattube, nervex pro lugs, NR components marked 73, all 531. I haven't taken the crank off to determine whether the threading is French or not; the current owner doesn't want me to take it off unless I'm sure I will buy it. Sort of picky person, but that's all right. He said he bought in Germany around 1975.
Thanks for any information on either.
