Coolio's,

I recently made a trip to Canberra (our nation's capital) where the Auto Italia classic car and bike festival was being held. I thought a couple of things might be of interest and on topic:

A 1946 Cucciolo Ducati motorized bicycle. Not completely original but oh so sweet (and not for sale). And a Di Bartolomei track bike which is purportedly a Masi and was ridden to victory by Aleandro Faggin at the Melbourne Olympics. I guess if it's genuine it makes it quite an important bike. I have met the owner a couple of times and knowing his level of devotion and seeing his other bikes I very much feel it's the real deal.

Anyway, the pics .... http://www.wooljersey.com/gallery/biciman/Bits_Bobs/Auto_Italia/
