Galmozzi-chiementin
 

Hi all.
I've just purchased a Galmozzi, which is badged up as a Chiementin. And wondered if anybody had any further information, on either.
Looking on the net, the frame appears to be have being made in the 60's, the rear de-railer is date stamped, 1971, which would fit in nicely.
There appears to be a bike shop in Venice, called Chiementin, which may have been around in the 60's, which would point to the bike being made by Galmozzi, for this bike shop.
Anyway i'll post some pictures, and any information would be appreciated.
Thanks

A couple more pics, one showing it roughly built up for sizing.http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=164742http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=164741http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=164740

As far as I know, the Chiementin shop in this case is located in Brendola in the province of Vicenza, not in Venice. The Chiementin shop has been around for a long time and if I am not mistaken have been responsible to build up the occasional show bike for Campagnolo over the years. As far as Galmozzi goes, you could always contact Angelo Galmozzi and ask him for more details. He is still alive and well in Milan (He only speaks Italian however). I am virtually certain that the frame has been repainted and fiddled with. The top tube braze-ons and the under the BB cable routing are not original.

PS: I hope that you got the bike for considerably less than what the scooter seller was asking for the bike...

Great thanks very much for information. The plan at the moment, is to restore the frame to it's original condition no braze-ons etc. I just want to check out the Chiementin link, first to see if it was important.
And yes i would love to hear Angelo Galmozzi's thoughts on the bike, i don't speak italian, but i'm sure i can find someone who can. Have you got a means of contacting him?
Also im sure there used to be some pictures of the Galmozzi shop, on the Classic rendezvous site, which i would love a copy off, if anyone has copies on there pc.
Thanks again for the information, and anymore information would be greatfully recieved.
Mike.

It looks like a nice early 60's Galmozzi to me. If the re-brand was done at the time of the re-work and re-paint I doubt it has any connection to what the original bike was. But always good to check these things.

Definitely a frame that deserves a proper restoration, it is really beautiful. Wonderful looking seat lug, and lots of style throughout.

Hi
Thanks for the comments. It's definitely looking like a 60's Galmozzi, with one or two reworks, the rear mech, dated 1971, but the weinmann brake levers and calipers dating from the eighties.
But now thanks to Citoyen, i have the contact details for Angelo Galmozzi. I'm sending him a letter and some photo's, asking him for his thoughts on the bike. You can't really see on these photo's, but there are 5 dots, stamped on the bottom bracket and there also appears to be a number 14 stamped above the dots, and hopefully this will help in identifcation and dating.

Hi. I would really appreciate the same contact information if possible. Have recently bought a Galmozzi and want to return it to former glory. Need advice from Angelo if possible. Your help would be much appreciated. Thanks

I am in direct contact with Angelo Galmozzi, I'm restoring different chassis with its approval, if there are requests that I can convey to him I will be happy to communicate such information.
