I do have a "really old" bike I have a few questions about. Earlier this year (thank you Kevin Gosney) a fellow listmember who lives in my region sold me a 1940's road bike of a brand new to me. It is called "Amerio," is a bike built for the Campagnolo Cambio Corsa drive train, and has many construction touches that are pure Italian--Emilio Bozzi-type sand cast lugs, the Cambio Corsa system itself--with some other anomalies such as English bottom bracket threads and a 22.0mm fork I.D. I will be scanning pictures of it and be able to email them to any curious party. "Amerio," anybody heard of it or seen another one?
Thanks
