It is a red frame with white brake lines. The wheels are steel and nothing special about them. Has anyone came across one of these? thank you for your help
At the risk of offending Scooper & thinktubes even further, I'll respond.
Are you sure it's not Campania? They were a USA boom era brand that used the similarity of their name to Campagnolo to influence customers. They used various contract manufacturers, including Japanese, though assembly was performed in the USA on at least some models.
