WTB: bike attributed to Pela - have a look at these unique features
as best I've been able to tell there were no frames bearing the name of this builder. as my research continues I will append this post with the names that were built under this mans hand. 58-59cm CtC frame set to a complete bike. please no major damage.

did all "Pela" frames feature the flat spear tips only? Is that an exclusive feature of Pela frames?
I found a 75 Tomassini with 2 of the 3 things to look for, the BB, the dash-dot-dash on the fork, but the spear tips have a concave part.

Benotto. Gios. Beramin. Picchio. Tommaso Nieddu. Fratelli Porta. Elio Torino.
58/59 will be difficult to find. I think Manuel Dall'olio has a tiny one for sale.
