ID or info on this bicicletta !!
Ok, just got this in from Italy. Needs a full restoration, but will get it and become my L'eroica Bicicletta !
The bb measures 70mm, seat post is 27.2mm.... I am told this may be a La Perla (note the headset), possibly from 1948-50. La Perla was a builder in the Venetto region...though I have not found any information on this. I will be posting also on Italian bike forums in search of answers.
Let me know what you think of the lugwork, etc. The current decals appear to be 'wishful thinking' by a PO, so disregard that.
The crank is Nervar..though I have no idea if original, the good part is in back .. Cambio Corsa Campagnolo, and regina sprockets. I will be looking to replace the crankset, and everything else to Campy if not already so. Looking for suggestions on proper or close, period correct stem, bars, saddle...and trying to keep it all Italiano !
As always Thanks in advance for any and all constructive information.
Cheers,
Joe
