Both are cool. I remember similar Atalas thirty some years ago. I rarely see or read about 'em lately.
One the few Italian made, off the peg complete bikes back then that one would see at stores.

Wow, that schwinn is a dandy. Worth a few shekels too.
Where did the Schwinn come from? Rare to see one in such nice condition and with the BIG basket.

I picked it up in Lafayette Indiana.Took it for a ride and it is really tough riding.I can see why delivery boys were young.I forgot how hard balloon tires are to ride up inclines.I guess if you have powerful legs you could be a the one carrying water,candy,etc. on your next group ride but i dont think anyone can put many miles on that old bike.
