Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.Pikkewyn1974

Hello All,
The bug has officially bitten me ... I'm supposed to be studying but instead I'm constantly looking at bikes! Sooo, now I have too many bikes (9) and not enough room (tiny apartment)! Out of the 9 only 4 are really in working condition and I ride them all the time, but the other fellows need work. In any matter I am rambling ... I just got a Corso Girio D'Italia - it is pretty beat up, but I'm working my way up to getting a nice Italian made bike (this one was $20). I actually don't really know what to do with it, or how to even go about doing anything, because there is not alot of information on it (except for the 2 threads on bikeforums - and these threads said that it might be difficult to find parts for it). So do I turn it into a singlespeed? Is it even doable with this bike? Also, I might sound like an idiot now - but I was hoping that I would be able to at least use the wheels on the old Bianchi I found, but I am not able to get the wheels on the bike ... is it me or is the Corso different? (I'm really still learning ... and I don't really have anyone to ask about this except you guys). I am also posting pictures of the bike.
