Ideor bicycle
Recently I found some postings regarding Ideor bicycles. I have an Ideor and need to replace the front fork. The original was damaged in a minor crash, I replaced that one with a fork from another type of bike, (don't remember what it was) and now would like to put an original fork back on it. If anyone knows where I could get ahold of one please let me know. Also, I would be willing to part with bike, its a 1955-57 Ideor with most of the original parts. I did have it painted due to oxidation of the original paint. Anyway, if you are interested let me know. it is a small frame, bike, I am 5'9" and it fits me well. Rides real good.

Finding an original loose fork for an Ideor will be a challenge. The original crown while not unique I have only seen on similar age Galmozzi bikes.
There is a "for Sale" sub forum where placing a sales advertisement would be appropriate. For that you would need to buy a paid membership which is modest in cost. But you would need to come up with a price.
Ideors are often nice bikes, they made a pretty wide range of them though, so no telling of your bikes' value and interest. the top line bikes are the sought after ones. Too bad about the paint, many were chromovelo in finish, where there was a tint over a chromed frame.

I just found an Ideor that I partly restored. It too was repainted, but by a previous owner. Do you know how to determine the date of an Ideor based on serial number?
