You think like me! Yes I wonder about the bike's history. The bike is painted in team Maino's color, was a team bike or did an enthusiastic amateur ride it? One is left wondering where it was ridden in Italy, how it survived WW2 - the bike meant a lot to someone at one time. I am just the current custodian and one day it will be passed along to another who will probably wonder the same things.
