as for the model lets see...

...circle B on the stay, ofmega cranks, Gran Sport..... ah ha!
it looks like a '85 Alloro. is there anything anywhere that looks like it was a tubing type decal? what brand is the seatpost?
OH I forgot to post a link to the type of pads I recomended

I told him
but did they have that squarish Piaggio decal on the ST in '85? IIRC, in '85 they just had what is inside that square.
