A recent post by that OldBrit John Crump reminds me I should put feelers out for anyone who may have an excess, vintage juvenile saddle. The Ideale No. 27, I believe was something of a nice mini-racer. Fortunately, I still have a couple more years until my kids are there, but idealey (sic), I'll have all the bits lined up and ready.

I uncovered this ('70s?) bambino Urago at the bike co-op in Pittsburgh, PA which I am looking forward to reviving: http://www.flickr.com/photos/66275745@N00/2846875983/

I guess I'll go ahead, too, and ask if anyone has tiny TA cranks - or admonishment for my plans to replace the old 550A with 24" (520mm) wheels!...

Thanks!
