Atala Professionisti
1973 with help from juvela
I think the model is correct from the sell sheets I have. I'm a bit unsure as it was a give away to bike shop employees where I worked during college.
Details of original configuration
Columbus SL
Full Campy Record except brakes (Universal 61)
TTT stem and bars
High flange hubs with sew-up rims
Bottom bracket not installed but have in original Campy box
Numerous Campy chainrings
Atala team jersey - a mountain version - long sleeved wool
Original sales literature & riders card from Pierino Gavazzi(Atala team rider, who presented me the bike when he toured bike shops after the 1982 Italian Nationals)
The bike was a special edition for the promotion so a bit vague on specifics.
Condition rough
The no crank arms or rear derailleur they went to my Guerciotti Jet frame build.
A local shop is going to take a look at it and 2 other bikes in coming posts. I have no idea what it might be worth.

fascinating background information
cycle appears a good deal earlier than date mentioned for its receipt - no doubt a sound reason
incomplete machines are always a challenge for appraisal
shall look forward to reading what the experts have to relate...

That was what I thought as well. As a promo it may have been old stock rejuvenated but the headset, seatpost, and tubing stickers all validated what I was presented. Pierino spoke very little English and my Italian was minimal at that time. Today I speak Italian food words pretty well and my waist shows it.

These bikes look great, and I have one that just needs restoration. I'll probably look into this one; any idea where I can buy parts for them around Nevada? Besides I love bike rides through Sunrise over Fallujah, this is a story I see in real life from here I read https://freebooksummary.com/category...-over-fallujah and now I simply want to be there. Besides that I prefer to listen to summary to books, I am glad I can find them from this source absolutely free.
