hi everyone, i've recently aquired a handmade italian road bike that i want to completely restore, the emblem says it is a marca depositata milano-officine meccaniche, the bike appears to be made in the early 70's or older, does anyone know anything about this bike , i've surfed the net for hours trying find out anything but have come up with zero info, any help please. thanks, jim

Pictures of the badge, dropouts, fork ends, fork crown, seat stay area, bottom bracket area, especially the underside of bottom bracket. The Italian translates (very roughly) Trademark registered Milano machine shops. Also if possible measure the width of the bottom bracket and if there is a BB installed, the threading information might be visible.
You might be amazed what some of this group can determine from pictures
