George and list,
I'm very curious about this bike. It's actually a "Reuter". According to the headbadge, the marquee was based in St. Vith in Belgium. What's interesting are the clover cutouts in the Cinelli lugs. They are NOT the Colnago clovers, but very similar. I actually have a Walter Godefroot track bike with identical cutouts. As some of you may know, Godefroot was from Belgium. I've been unsuccessful in determining who was responsible for building the Godefroot bikes, but the similarities between these two marquees bikes has piqued my interest.
Does anybody know about Reuter? Does anybody know who responsible for those non-Colnago clover cutouts?
Thanks,
