Subject: [CR]Re: late 40's Sieber track bike
Edward says: "I am looking for help with information about the Swiss made Sieber."
I had a Sieber track bike in the mid to late 1950's. It was extremely light and I rode it everywhere!!! I loved that bike, my first legit track bike, and Irode many races on it and quite a few time trials.
The decals were pretty much gone by the time I got it so I can't contribute much to your restoration.
I was told, by whom I cannot recall, that it was made in a shop just over the Swiss border from Milan, near Como. I was also told that Cinelli worked with/consulted with Sieber before starting his own business. I'd like to learn more about this. Probably Jobst would know more.
