Thanks for sharing details of your "really old" bike David. I'm just responding to tell you that I know nothing more than you do about "Amerio" bicycles. Just posting in case no one else does so you don't think you have been "snubbed" as this seems to be a big concern on the list.
I just used to not respond when I had nothing to add because I didn't know anything more, but this turns out to be perceived as an insult to the party asking the question.
Life is very complicated isn't it? I think I'll go lie down now as my brain is starting to throb ;)
