Milremo was a brand name for primarily private labeled bike components and accessories. The brand was shared by Cycles Andre Bertin in the French market and Ron Kitching in the UK.

They shared a lot of the private labeled items like pedals, hubs, rims, bars, stems and so on in both countries but had specialty products that were sold only in their respective markets.

Milremo made nothing. The name came from the Milan-San Remo early season Italian classic.

The fork crowns pictured above were made by several different manufacturers. The full sloping crown was probably made by Davis but several other manufactures in the UK made that style too. The crown in the upper right corner is probably an Ekla?

The Milremo dropouts were made by Mavic or at least made for them.

Ekla crowns and lugs were popular in the UK during the 40's and 50's. They appear to still have been available in the late 60's or early 70's.


Ekla 23 Bottom view - no idea what the top looks like.



Wagner crowns were available in a wide variety of styles and were popular in many European markets plus with US builders up into the early 1980's. The better quality crowns were made of forged steel. The cheap ones were stamped steel.


The ubiquitous DP+ chevron top model used on 1,000s of mid range Motobecanes and many others during the 70's.




Lest no forget Nervex crowns. They also made a variety of styles. The two most common ones in the 60's and 70's were the Professional and the Dubois models.

Two versions of the Nervex Dubois crown. The chevron top was used on PX-10s for years.



Cinelli Twin Plate Crown. Masi used these on some frames in the early 70's.


This is a fake twin plate crown on a Masi.



Twin plate crowns were elegant but a lot of work to braze and finish.

Maxed out at 10 pictures. See my next post below for more fork crowns.
