I had a bit of an advantage there, because I knew the marque, having owned a similar bike in the early 1970s.
This one was sitting at the yard sale with an ugly dull red paint job and a $25 price tag, and they jumped at my offer of $20.
I paid extra for the white head tube and panels to make those great lugs stand out. This is historically accurate -- I copied a friend's red-and-white Capo.
I subsequently picked up the two Siegers, which were the top of the Capo line.
