Anyone have info on a Bugatti Touring Sport? Thanks for any info!
I recently accquired what looks to be a rare and unique bicycle called a Bugatti Touring Sport. I have tried to research this bike via the internet, but I am not having much luck. Can anyone tell me a history behind this bike? I know that Bugatti vehicles are very, very expensive! Could this possibly be a promotional bicycle made to promote a certain Bugatti? I'm not sure of the age, but it does look like a vintage bike. More pics available via e-mail. Any help is deeply appreciated.
Thanks again,
Monty Sheets

I suspect there's no connection other than the name. Bugatti cars were built pre-WWII, but were revived again in the 1990s. That frame looks like it's from the 70s or 80s.

I'll go out on a limb and say this bike has *nothing* to do with the famous car maker of the same name. The bike has the same name as the famous French car maker, and it is in Italian sporting blue (which is similar to French racing blue).
Could be a nice touring bike though.
