You know, it's been common knowledge the Eibar made Servettas for some time. But you know how reliable common knowledge is . . . So I did some digging. I found several places where the scooter enthuisast sites talk about Eibar as a company:



But I suspect that this just got lazily passed down by people like me and that Eibar is simply a large factory town. I see no evidence of a company called Eibar.

Removing "tidbit" from above post until I see actual evidence.

Is there an actual Eibar company?

Always thought it only the name of the city and when some cyclists saw it on products they thought it a manufacturer.

Maybe I'll get to learn something...
