It was my impression that they are in the Madonna del Ghisallo museum in Italy near Lake Como. I imagine there are multiple bikes too, since there is only 1 example most likely in the museum. Where the others are, and whether there is proper supporting documentation to their authenticity, I don't know.

Does anybody know where the original bikes of Coppi and Bartali are? They seem to pop up once in a while... I am interested not in look-a-likes or restored bikes, but the originals. I assume most of these are in Italy. Due to other constraints, I am especially interested in bikes in Northern Italy, whether private collections or museums, where we could see and photograph them.

Any help is appreciated.
