Juvela,
Thanks for the further detail. It is great to have this type of info for an old and somewhat obscure make. I will be sure to include it in my writ up of the bike for the Bike Exchange. The stem that came with the bike was a schwinn adjustable track stem of that vintage. I used the shown stem because it was the oldestitalian stem I had. Others were either 3 ttt or made in italy 3ttt, both later. Do you know what stem would have been likely used in 1960? I am still puzzled about the bend and extended "tails"on the bars. They remind me of the "Reg Harris bend" bars on the 58 lenton I did a while back. Where did you see the rubber barrel covers? They are not simple o rings and If we haven't sold the bike yet I might get some for it.

Thanks to Swimmer Mike for donating a Campi derailleur . It completed the bike wonderfully . I also found some vintage Italian plastic Bar tape to wrap the bars. I left it at the shop wednesday for one of our vintage experts to dial everything in as I had to take my wife to the doctor. I will try to take some more pics of the finished bike Saturday
