Hi, all. I'm a newbie here.
I have a '77 Motobecane Team Champion and a year or two ago, I picked up another bike, an Ives, purchased by a friend of mine in 1960.
When new, the Ives had all Campy components and I believe it was made in Italy, but I'm not sure. The frame is made of steel and it's lugged (not surprisingly). It rides well, and I'm in the process of having it repainted.
Has anyone heard of Ives? Do you know what type of tubing it has?
Thanks for your help!

p.s.: I also own several other bikes, mostly newer, but I also have an old Alex Moulton (orig. 4 speed model) that is in need of repair, and I will soon be getting back my old (circa 1960) Follis that I sold to a friend of my brother many years ago.
