| I rescued an oldy from a local flea market, just couldn't stand to see it sitting outside in the weather anymore and I needed something to do with my free time. I would like to see if anyone has any information on this brand of bike. Not worried about the value of it, but I would like to get a general idea of the age of the bike and any information of the maker if possible. It is a Mariella with foil transfers that also say Velox Super Sprint on the Seat tube along with a Made in Italy sticker above it. I do not see a sticker indicating the type of metal used in it but the main frame has a nice ring to it when you tap it, rear frame and forks sound dull. Parts that I can identify are Campy Valentino front and rear derailleurs and shifters, Freewheel says Caimi Castano Italy, 27" Wheels are chromed and say SanRemo made in Italy, brakeset is Balilla centerpulls with the script letters, riser says FG Italy, and the Pump Brackets are REG. I don't see any name on the chrome cottered crankset, only markings is a 52 in a circle on the large gear. No markings that I can see on the Headset or the handle bars. Frame is Lugged with long pointed lugs if that helps. I will get some pictures of the bike tomorrow if needed, but it was raining off and on here today. Thanks in advance. by: 97.100.171.158 |
