Drum..........................Roll!

Can anyone put a name to this frameset!.................For sure it was not a $ 375.- frameset. Looks more like a Nuovo Strada which was sold as a complete bike for around $ 400.-. So to say, misrepresented is saying that it was a $ 375.- frameset, when truely it's $ 400.- complete bike.................Big difference. I had a few friends who at the time could not afford a higher end Bianchi....................So they settled for one of these. My friends called it the poor mans 100% European made race bike.
>From what I can remember these are some of the component that was on this bike, FRAME!

1, Campagnolo NR derailleurs and shifters.

2, Ofmaga hubs, crankset, pedals.

3, 3ttt handle bars and stem.

4, Universal # 77 brakeset.

5, Regina Corsa freewheel and regina chain of some sort.

6, Saddle, some type of covered plastic...............OUCH! Italian seat post of some sort.

7, Tires and rims.................Not sure, but I'm sure that the rims were some low grade MAVIC.
