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
