I picked up this yellow, 1960s-70s looking road bike from a local shop a few months bike. Right now I'm in the process of using the frame (which is a bit heavy but steers great and can get goin real quick in the city surprisingly) for a singlespeed project. More of a daily rider than a restoration. Before I do any serious damage to it I thought i'd see if anybody could tell me a bit about, seeing as how I have found NOTHING anywhere about this bike so far. It has a "Made in Italy" decal on the seat tube, a big decal that says "Nervi" on the downtube, and the crest on the head tube reads "Nervi", and around it "Biciclette Marca Depositata". It has Balilla breaks, pretty old looking Campagnolo rear and front changers, and a "Persons Quality Saddle" which I doubt is original. Wish I could post some pics but alas, no digital camera. Any information would be really appreciated. This thing is a mystery!

It appears that nobody wants to respond. Pictures are of the utmost importance on this forum. Do you know anybody with a camera? What is the name on the rear derailleur(changer)? Are the cranks alloy or steel? Look for other names on components. Are the rims alloy or steel? But, above all, pictures, pictures, pictures!

i'll try to get pics up soon. the cassette says "G. Caimi-Castano-Italy" and "Everest". I think Caimi changed to Everest in the 60s? Not sure. Still doesnt help me figure out this bike. I'll get pictures up within the week!
