Hopefully not off topic (since this is a utility bike)...I found an old
Italian bike at the dump; a 1 speed freewheel bike equipped
with matching front and rear racks; it's in good shape. Maybe from the 50s
or 60s? It's name on the
downtube is "Mariella Burani". Has steel cotterless cranks, a loop type
kickstand that folds down from the rear rack, enclosed chainguard, odd top
tube-headtube junction, and an odd 25.2 size seatpost. Anybody know about
this thing? I'm riding it to the store to get a loaf of Italian bread.
Here's a link to some pictures.
