I just bought a Corso Special Valentino this afternoon after lunch, Campy downtube shifters, Universal brakes, Suntour Honor RD and what looks like a Simplex FD, in decent condition. Looks like the work of Atala or Chiorda(who also made the Italian bicycles for K-Mart and J.C. Penney, a guy at my bike co-op tells me.). I got it at a used furniture place, they threw in some pannier bags(no rack on the bike, though) and an Avanti handlebar bag. For less than lunch cost. I always check out front of the used furniture place, because sometimes a gem, (or in this case, an interesting rock) shows up out of the blue. Where I live, in the flyover country, Italian bikes are not an everyday sight. It will be fun to have this Italian Steed roaming the prairies.
