Does anyone know anything about this bike? It's history? Value? Any information would be greatly appreciated.
I apologize for not including much information; I will provide more when I survery the bike a little closer.
Thanks so much!
I remember the Firenze (Florence). It's not Italian, basically a very inexpensive road bike that was given away in Southern Cal (and perhaps some other areas) as part of promotions by stereo stores (buy $300 Soundmaster and you get this bike free!). Hope you paid very little for it!
