For Sale, Roma Sport "Path Racer." It's Italian through-and-through, but has some of the hybrid spirit of the old British Path Racers. Very comfortable track bike, except that she has oval fork blades.
56 cm x 56cm (ctc). Wonderful looped, scalloped lugs, with amazingly patina'd candy apple red finish - and a spare pair of new down-tube decals! good candidate for a long life after powder-coating.
Serial #67881 suggests 1967 manufacture, but it came to me with really nice FB High flange hubs, very light sew-up rims, top-line Magistroni cottered cranks, and lovely Ambrosio steel stem with Ambrosio aluminum bars (I got the cranks and stem rechromed). These parts suggest something much older. Asking $300 plus actual shipping cost, my superb packing is free.
Pictures available, of course, but I haven't set up a web site. So, you have to ask and I have to email them.
Since the Andy Hamel came into my life, either this bike or my Raleigh Competition has to leave. This one leaves through the front door (whole bike), or the frame goes to a courier and the high-zoot Magistroni stuff goes to The Bay. Nice riding bike: I did a much hillier than expected century on it a few years ago, and survived just fine. Sometime around age 60, and already ornery.
