Anyone here own a Duemila?

Just wondering about this. Found an Italian Duemila a while back. Seriously oddball bike, folds very compactly. Honestly I probably won't keep it since it's a bit too small and I don't travel with bikes (also have a Raleigh 16" folder that my father bought new in the '60s).

Anyone else out there?

What a cutey! It's kind of like a naked Vespa. I love the built in rack and oblique seatpost angle. Looks like it might be a bit flexy with that hinge so low. I think you should restore it....:)

It's cute, all right. The angle of the seatpost is adjustable for hight. It needs tires and a general cleanup, but I'm not going to touch the paint. The off-white is actually a weird metallic mother-of-pearl.

Actually, it's missing one of its neatest features. Originally it would have had a plastic fender on the front fork with a built-in headlight. It still has the generator and taillight, but someone stripped all the wiring off.

Here's a link with quite a bit of info, it's from Tony Hadland's book 'In the Bag' hope this helps.
