This is said to be a Galmozzi frame, badged Cicli Bravi, Milano. Certainly a circa 1948 era - I have the Cambio Corsa bits off it and the correct rear hub. The seat cluster lugs and the fork crown are typically Galmozzi but the slot and hole are missing from the head lugs and a hole from the BB down tube lug. But then I ask myself were those trade mark features used in 1948?
