I'd love to have this Atala Bicycles clock gracing my tiny workshop but I can't find an inch of wall to hang it on. My (off topic) dear latestincarbonfiberweightweenieroadie wife will not have that "old piece of junk" in the house. Seller will take paypal and will ship.

According to the add it's "over 35 years old", making it in our timeline. The seller sent me some photos, here are the links: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5193568/light_off.jpg http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5193568/light_on.JPG

It's a bargain, someone please buy this!

No relation to seller.

"If you race bikes, or just like to watch the bicycle races, this clock is the thing for your bar, den, garage, or "man-cave". This is an advertising wall clock probably from a bike dealer or bike shop, about 26" long by 10" tall by 6" deep, advertising ATALA racing bicycles. It is in very good condition. The aluminum frame is not pitted or corroded. The clock portion is about 10" x 10". The remainder of the face has the words "ATALA Bicycles" on a red/white/green (Italy's flag's colors) background. The clock is lit from inside with a fluorescent bulb that can be switched on/off. The clock face says "Italy's Finest" behind the hands. This clock is over 35 years old, because that's how long I have had it. The clock and the light work perfectly. Think I'm asking too much? Make an Offer! E-mail for pictures or ask for directions if you'd like to see it. "
