Subject: [CR]Fiorelli Speedster is for sale!

Vintagista's, The '58 Fiorelli town/city bike is for sale. I am offering it to the CR list first.

I think it is a very cool bike with sweet lines, I've never seen another one like it. This bike would be a real attention getter in front of the Portland/Seattle type expresso bar! http://www.flickr.com/photos/49353569@N00/ (There is also a Fiorelli "set with a few additional pictures and descriptions.)

The frame measures 48cm to top, but it has 6 cm rise to the top of the top tube lug so it will fit a larger rider than the 48 would suggest. The top tube is 55.5.

I removed the front rack and generator for this set of pictures as some wondered what she would look like stripped down. As expected she/he does look much sportier.

Paint is fair, decals are all there and very coloful, chrome on crown is gone.

I would leave the bike as found, but some might want to do a distressed restoration, or maybe make it bright and shiney?

The wheels are 650A's... I did take a set of 650B wheels and slid them in with 38mm tires, plenty of clearance,,, you could convert this over by rebuilding the hubs w/ 650b rims,,,(just sayin')

The bike comes with the bar and stem as shown plus a city bike saddle and city bike bars. Look in Fiorelli set for bar, saddle. Price is $750.00. Check preferred, although paypal would work. Thanks for looking.
