celo europa
hi first time post on here wonder if anyone can give me information on celo europa cycles
i bought this bike on e bay last year and have recently finished rebuilding it
the guy i bought it from said it was an import by tommasini built for the us market
i have done a "google" search and turned up celo europa cycles by marcel calborn?
with the possibility of the frames being imported from colnago italy
i have no idea how this bike has ended up in the u k but i havent seen another or heard of one!
the frameset is 58cm finished in a very nice white and blue transfers are celo europa but no model specified. the chrome forks are stamped "celo" as is the bottom bracket and rear brake bridge
the rear stays are chromed with "celo slx" decals there is also a transfer on top tube reading world champions 1984.
i would love to find out more about the makers if possible or indeed contact anyone who owns one!
i have rebuilt the bike with campag athena components non index gearing when i obtained the bike
it had been built with more modern gear which i didnt think looked correct i would imagine it would be built
circa 1980s . i will post photos later
thanks in anticipation ken bowes
ps i am in lancashire england
