Ideor 24" Wheel Juvenile

Chanced today upon this ebay listed Ideor 24" wheeled road bicycle. Had not before heard of such from the maker. Machine presents numerous questions as in "is it a real Ideor?" and "how much of it is original?"

Seller states it has been completely reworked and lists some of the fittings which have been replaced.

There are two bits of small print writing on the downtube transfer which may offer possible clues. One looks as if it may say "DENOVA", while the other I cannot get started on. Style of transfer looks to be quite a bit later than the more commonly seen Ideor transfer set.

Wonder if there may have been a successor to the Ideor marque of 1946-63.



Wheels and brake calipers obviously a good deal later than most of the balance. Seller states handlebar replaced as well.

Chainset is an Agrati thompson/thun pattern one. Pedals appear to be Sheffield Sprint 673. Frame built with the aid of Agrati bits. Its bulge-formed head is Agrati "AM" N. 000.8046. This is the same head used for the Ideor Super model bicycle:
