Hi Jim,
I have no experience with this brand name. I doesn't take a keen eye to see the poor lugwork. I found the pseudo-panto'd fork crown in the form of a decal amusing. Lack of engraving could be another clue as to the caliber of this fine Italian specimen. ;-)

Dear Listmembers,
I'd appreciate any recollections,opinions or hyperbole regarding the builder and or marketers of the Rolls bike in the photos link below. I'm reasearcing on behalf of a much enamored owner of several of these. He has his theories about the origins of the breed. I've hoping to hoping confirm, deny or further confuse him with your help.

Robbie,
As far as I know, Magistroni only made steel cranks,
although many of these were of very high quality. In
fact, they are the actual manufacturer of the steel
Campagnolo cranksets. What's not clear to me is whether
or not Magistroni were the actual manufacturer of the
aluminum alloy chainrings that were used with their
cranksets. Based on other responses on this list, I
suspect not. In fact, the ones on my Atala actually
had a Stronglight insignia.
As for your question about the "open C/G" Campagnolo
shift levers... in the Talmud, such questions are left
to be resolved upon the arrival of the Messiah. Anyway,
the real answer simply depends on how many levers made
before the early 60s were sold and how many survived.
