Hello 64conv65hard,
Welcome to the forum.
I have owned three or four Ideor road bicycles and one Ideor track. Cannot recall before seeing a women's model. Company operated approximately 1946-65 from Savona.
You would need to put up some larger format photos for readers to give you much response regarding your find.
The forum has had quite a few threads on Ideor bicycles. You can use the search function to bring them up.
There is some information at this web site, if you have not found it already:
Ideor main

Tried getting bigger pictures but site would not allow. If somebody could help out I would gladly email more pictures and they could assist in posting. This is an IDEOR Super Signora bike and everything looks original, all parts are on bike.

There are two routes to go with photos.
You can load them to a host such as flickr/photobucket/etc. and then post them to the forum.
Alternately, you can upload them from your harddrive. Click on the picture icon atop the message posting form.

Thanks for the photo.
Interesting to note that frame is constructed with an Agrati bulge-formed head rather than the distinctive lugs usually seen on Ideor bicycles. Condorino stem/bar set may be made by Schierano.
You will need to post some detail photos if you would like readers to give more/better information about your find. Please include images of drive side.

Thank you for all the photos.
IIRC the Super model is constructed of Mannesmann tubing.
Lots of wonderful touches here. Love the stem emblem. First such I have seen on an Ideor. Celluloid mudguards look to have incorporated a skirt guard.
Be very cautious with any cleaning you may do. IIRC transfers are not clear coated.
Sheffield pedals look to be model Corsa 655.
Quite marvelous that she appearss to be so all original. She was likely stored unused for several decades.
Thank you for sharing this excellent find!

I was very surprised to see what appears to be Campagnolo dropouts and hubs. Given the Campagnolo levers, cable routing clamps (hubs and dropouts?) wouldn't Campagnolo derailleurs be more likey OEM than Simplex? Also, a Simplex Criterium would be too new, given the years of IDEOR operation. Those should be the highly desirable open C shift & QR levers if they are OEM. That is quite a find for a thrift store.

Bikes: No-name LH drive track. Also ride an Exxon Graftek, a Masi, a Trek R200 or a RR Boneshaker for fun!

The rear quick release appears to be branded Shimano, not Campagnolo. Still a great find.

Would expect the original rear mech to have been a Campag GS. Like exxongraftek, noted also the Shimano rear qr. Hoping it is a replacement for the original and not a complete wheel replacement. If bicycle's hubs are Campag you will be able to read a two digit date on the inner face of the hub axle locknuts. Guesstimate a date in the vicinity of 1960.
