My 1948 Olmo Cambio Corsa has internal routing, I'll check the fork crown. I think Hilary is spot on, early 1950's.

I have no doubt that that is correct. 110449807005 The paint is stripped in the main and I see an aonomoly that I would not expect to see on this vintage bike., That is the two TT internal tube cable guides. Is this 'correct' for the vintage or an add on late. I see that the paint and primer remains are the same on the cable guides. Would this bike also have the Cambio drop-outs? BT
