A while back there was some small discussion about where were all the "ordi nary", eg non-racer" Italian bikes. The conclusion or general consensus was that they must have bought their porteurs, and anything not racer from Fra nce. How very wrong. I was delighted to find a guy who has a monumental col lection of Italian non racers. Stuff like Umberto Dei uprights. And a lot m ore. For anybody interested in bicycles, more particularly Italian bicycles , and in particular what people rode, what the famed makers made apart from Giro and TDF winners, here, with permission from the owner of the pics, is a link that should be mandatory visiting: http://tiny.cc/7BNO1
