If you do it would be a great resource to add scans or pics to VeloBase (www.velobase.com) since there's next to nothing on the Internet about Agrati BICYCLE parts (plenty about the Agrati-Garelli scooter and other moped/motorbike stuff).
One tidbit I did find is somebody stated that Agrati once distributed Atala bicycles.
all spot on.

Agrati is a more important mfr than usually realised by the public, or even the keen enthusiast.

as you say, to the extent they are known it is for the Agrati-Garelli product range.

the bicycle product range has precious little to offer the consumer, aimed as it is at the mfr. for example, afaik they have never produced an item of light alloy. everything offered for cycles is steel.

their framebuilding items are not only used in Italy. there have also been a number of British builders through the years who have used Agrati bits to construct their creations.

i do indeed have a catalogue from them. pulled it out of the files a few weeks ago to assist and earlier poster so it was "near the top of the stack" when i discovered this present thread. alas, it has no date. an all too common state of affairs. back in the day, when everything was printed on paper companies would often intentionally put no date on their materials in the hope of making them useful as long as possible.

cannot forward it to VeloBase as have no scanner connected to my computer. (am an elderly gent who can just do email and surf the internet, but not much more.)

wrt the distribution of Rizzato (Atala & Lygie) products: had not before heard of this; can not add anything here.
