Flatera and Bianchi

Here's something unusual for you to drool over.

On our ride today we met another couple whom we'd met before. The guy was a fan of old French bikes, was riding a nice Motobecane the first time we met them. This time he was on a Flatera he'd found on CL cheap, apparently built by some obscure Swiss. It had 105 components but he was thinking of throwing on some Ultegra stuff he happened to have hanging around. He was a youngster and had never heard of NISI rims or Tubi Oria. For your enjoyment:







Then he tells us he'd recently found a real PX10, had taken it out for a short spin, needed to fix a bummed wheel, wasn't sure to keep the sew-ups or switch to clinchers. I offered to re-string it if he wanted. He promised to send me pics.

His S.O. was riding this, labeled Sport SX on the TT. It this the same as the Sport Six?
