I'm not certain, but I had ordered info on Canopus bikes back in the eighties. I was under the impression that they were made in South America, like Brazil or somewhere and since my interest was only in Italian, I never thought about purchasing one. If anyone has other information, don't be afraid to say I'm wrong. The importer sent me real 5 x 6 photographs of the bikes that I still have on file.
