Ahhhh, it all makes sense. The guy who gave me the decals rode a Cuevas, but had ridden for the Paris-Sport sponsored team in the late 70's, IIRC. Maybe I was the one who was confused. So, I guess Paris-Sport bikes were Frenchy bikes from New Jersey and Vigorellis were Italio-fied bikes from New Jersey, but they were all the same bikes, and perhaps imported from some undisclosed European location?

Some one was selling NOS frames from Vigorelli and Paris Sport several years back. I bought a Vigorelli and sold it soon after receiving it. The workmanship was adequate at best.

In anyone familliar with this make? About a million years ago, a friend gave me a set of decals identical to those on this bike. He said that he got them from Cuevas, and this it was simply a different brand that they used to sell frames under. It seemed to me that he was probably mistaken; it just sounded wrong. In any case, the Vigorelli decals looked cool on my repainted Trek-orelli, until I broke a rear dropout and the frame went back to Trek.
