Hi
I bought this bike back in the mid 1990's. At the time it was painted in a pink flesh tone color. I couldn't handle it so had it repainted yellow. Seems silly but that is all history now. I am fairly certain that it is of Italian make but can't remember the name. This photo shows a logo placed at the top of the front forks. I'm hoping that someone will recognize it and know the make. In any case I plan on selling it but think it would help knowing what the heck it is.

Are you sure that the mark is for the whole bike or just the fork since fork's are often bought from a supplier??

Is there a mark under the bottom bracket that might be a makers mark for the whole bike?

You can probably get more info if you post this in Classic and Vintage forum.

Thanks Nightshade, I just had a look and there is no logo, a few numbers on either side (hard to read) but that is it.

Wish I thought to take a few photos prior to the paint job...

Thanks goes to member Juls. It is a Cramerotti. Now I am going to see if I can figure out the year its was made. I bought it used in the mid 1990's so I think that should put it somewhere around the late 1980's.
