i know the chainring guard is bent. if i got it i'd probably want to upgrade to cotterless cranks...are italian threaded bb's hard to come by/expensive? i've never looked before. it looks like a decent bike for $50 though.

I think it's Dutch, but I can't prove it.

I like it, mainly 'cause its orange. What are your plans for it?

i like the orange too...and it's exactly my size, so it will join the fleet. i don't really know what my plans are yet...i'd like to know more about it before i start swapping out all the parts, but a lot of the stuff is pretty shot regardless. i'm starting a new thread with my pictures, in case someone recognizes the name Juventus.
