Not much interest? I may actually sell my Moto because of this bike. (I have a limit on how many I can keep.)

The marque is mentioned in Used Bike buyers guide but the entry I have
went through some weird decoding and I can't read it (anyone out there
have Lou's CD?).
More pic, need more pics!

After the rebuild. I have hoods coming....

The paint has a funky irridescent (sp) glow - the TT turns purple in the sun!

The buyers guide lists Corsaro as being out of Wilsonville, Oregon. The Proforma (Lou's spelling, not mine) being made in 85-86 out of Tange 1.

Complete - The Superbe topcap was chewed pretty good, replaced with another that is a bit thicker as well, to compensate for the now-missing reflector mount. REALLY nice Sugino bottom bracket. Aero Mighty cranks, never heard of them before. And new Modolo hoods from Loose Screws fit the Superbe levers PERFECTLY. Translucent hoods are cool. Looks good cross-bred with Dura Ace wheels, tubies with Conti Giro. At least the freewheel is SunTour. All I had left was white for the tape. Muted yellow cellophane would look pretty good methinks.

If anyone has an idea on how to post real purty pictures, please advise.
