Follis Bike Frame Stamped with Campagnolo? Am I seeing this correct?
My Dad used to have an old 10 speed that I remember growing up. Well, I just dug it out of his dump pile where it has laid for about twenty years. I have taken all of the parts off the bike and have started to restore the bike. After looking up some of the parts I found that Campagnolo must be some good stuff. After cleaning the frame for a little bit I noted it said Campagnolo on the rear fork near where the hub attaches to the bike. Did Campagnolo make frames for Follis or are they some way related? This bike was put together by my Uncle who used to work at a bike shop for many years. If anyone has anything they could tell me to help me out I would appreciate it. I am new to this stuff and maybe my question is completely irrelevent.

They are called dropouts, and Campagnolo is a major supplier of high-end dropouts. Many, many brands of bicycles used them.

I would guess the dropouts (the piece of the frame that the hubs attach to) are campagnolo. Most good vintage frames used campy dropouts.
|
Ok, that makes more sense then. Thank You!

Any time. It wasn't all that many years ago I would have had the same question.

and you might check out this post from Mr.Zorro that has an ad from a shop/importer that lists a few of the key models:
