Subject: [CR]partially restored 1933 Ganna bike for sale with Vittoria Margherita derailleur

An Italian friend of mine is selling a partially restored 1933 Ganna bike for sale with Vittoria Margherita derailleur. The bike is in good overall shape but does have a number of components that are not correct. You can see three photos of the bike here (click forward after the first photo): http://www.wooljersey.com/gallery/maasland/For_Sale_Items/1933+Ganna+wi th+Vittoria+Margherita+derailleur.html

The frame measures 52 cm C/C. The cranks are marked Ganna, as are the hubs and stem. The saddle is a Brooks, the brakes Balilla. The pedals are Way Asauto. The chain oiler on the seat tube is missing a part that I can come up with. The handlebars have been chromed whereas I believe they should have been nickelled. About the biggest inconsistency is the fact that the bike has clincher rims. Ideally you would want either Ambrosio alloy rims or perhaps even wood ones.

The rear hub is a flip flop hub. The rear drop-outs have the cool 'G' for Ganna in them.

My friend would like 1000 euros for the bike plus boxing and shipping which should be about 200 euros to the US.
