wasyl and I have been trying to figure out what he has. He emailed me through MY "TEN SPEEDS" hoping for some identification information.

I have not been able to help him. I looked through all my pictures, and challenged my memory (I think, I can't remember) and came up with a couple of possibilities, but nothing for sure.

My estimate is entry level Italian, of late sixties or early seventies vintage (really wild guess) and similar to the entry level Torpado, Chiorda or Bottecchias of similar vintage. Entry level Garlotti comes to mind also.

Anyway, that's about where this information quest is at and I hope this is a help.
