Can anyone help with any info about this fame I bought. I found a small thread on a Aussi forum about a Giovani in the Canberra Area. Any thoughts.


I finally found about this bike. Was built by Martens, Martelly of Belgium, here is the e-mail so if anyone else is trying to identify one.





The frame is made with us, we make these frames for the firm Destoop in Gent (belgium), are also left to make our frames with brands Coppi and Anquetil. (19670-1980 years)



In the early 1980 Destoop company has stopped and we have more than + 30 frames sold to customer Destoop in Norway. This client called Ole Aspas. and lived in the village Skien.

Well, it has a Reynolds 531 decal and Shimano 600 components, so that puts it at a mid range level, I'd guess. Never heard of the brand, though. The pictures don't show everything, but it looks like it has a replacement saddle and seatpost. Assuming everything else is original and in decent shape, I'd say it's probably worth a couple hundred dollars, maybe a little less due to the unknown brand. Don't take that as gospel, though. Someone else who knows more may come along and disagree.
