Constante Girardengo

His bikes

That is an interesting split top tube. I'm not sure when those were in vogue. I don't think the rear wheel is original. Its odd to have a Czech coaster brake on an Italian horizontal dropout.

Definately a low-end build but very typical for a city bike. Cleaned up, it would look sweet.

I was thinkng the same thing. Plus the front rim is alloy and the rear steel. Not sure about front hub make. Thanks for the response.

...and that one-piece bar and stem is killer! But what happened to the fenders?

Dunno... normally come with fenders, eh. That would have been nice.
