Martin asked:

A friend remembered he still had his first bicycle stored in the attic. Can you help dating it? i'm not so fluent in Campa Gran Sports... http://www.dk-forenserver.de/tour/attachment.php?attachmentid=17163 http://www.dk-forenserver.de/tour/attachment.php?attachmentid=17164 http://www.dk-forenserver.de/tour/attachment.php?attachmentid=17165 http://www.dk-forenserver.de/tour/attachment.php?attachmentid=17166

The rear derailleur is apparently from the 60's as it doesn't have the cable adjuster nut. The Campagnolo cottered bottom bracket axle, if that is what it is, is also likely from the very late 50's or early 60's. The Stronglight 'competition' steel cranks could be from the 50's or early 60's. My guess is that the bike is from the period of 1961-64.
