Dennis, All: Please take a good look at the crankset. Nice and old, but very stock and inexpensive. It would have probably been on one of the typical Italian everday bikes single, maybe 3 or 4 speed. I've never seen this before, even listed anywhere, but it shows how much the older manufacterers made for OEM equipment that we don't know about and rarely see unless we would have access to some of the foreign market home production stuff, as not too much of that stuff was ever exported and even less saved. As I remember back into the '50's and '60's, usually a discount house would bring in a few items, not have a market because they looked so funny and didn't sell, and subsequently dump the bikes, never to be seen again. Not to mention the dept. store guys never even dreamed of the replacement parts or spares. Occasionally we would get a bike or two in the shop that were bought in PX's overseas by a serviceman but that wasn't common and it was tough to get parts for that stuff once in a while. Fortuneatly some of the Eastern shops brought some of that stuff in with all the ethnic groups on the East Coast, but it was not a big item for anyone. Just some history musings.
