Subject: [CR] Dating Galmozzi frame


Dear friends,

After a long period of inactivity on this list I'm back with a question about a Galmozzi frame which I inherited from a friend who passed away recently. The frame is already completely stripped and all paint removed, I don't know what the original color was. The head tube is stamped 'Galmozzi Super Competizione" and it has 2 holes for the head badge (which I unfortunately don't have), head lugs are chromed, and this is also the case with the fork crowns. The bracket tube has no holes but has a "7" stamped. Pictures: http://picasaweb.google.com/rvandingenen/Galmozzi I plan to restore the frame and build it up with period-correct components if possible. Can anyone help me defining this period? What would be an appropriate color for the frame? I like very much the deep red color of the Galmozzi shown in the CR Gallery... Thanks a lot for your help
