Dear People,
last two months i bought 2 french / Belgian (in my opinion) campagnolo equipped bikes from the 1950/1960's. the problem is i don't know what brand both bikes are, they both have campagnolo dropouts. the rusty one has got a EDA bottom bracket and a Nervor fork tube, in the champagne coloured there are no inscriptions only two serials, one in the bottom bracket and one on the back of the forkcrown: 12687
does anyone recognize these bike by the lugwork? i made some pictures of it (see the links below) the champagne coloured bike is beautifully made with fine thin lugwork, done with care. the rusty one is a little bit more rough build and has got guides for electric cables, probably this is more a tourer model.
just have a look at the pictures:
