Two More Galmozzis

A recent trip to Dr. Frankenstein's lab (more on that shortly) presented the occasion of snapping these two Galmozzis that were offered up to me. Believe it or not, I passed even though they are in the right size range and both VERY interesting. The last thing I can afford right now are yet TWO more project builds that would cost a fortune to do correctly!

This lovely celeste has original colors. The red panel is great with original decal. The head tube badge is a repro. Would've been a great project for my first P-R bike, but I have another idea. This one shouldn't be repainted, which is what I need to do...

This one I first saw almost a year ago on an Italian website. It looked real rough but in the flesh, it's super-interesting. Enzo wanted to build it up with all original Simplex shifting, which really isn't what I'm interested in. After building a P-R bike, I think I want to mess with the Cambio Vittoria/Nieddu type shifters (I have a line on new boxed systems in Torino). He also says he wouldn't paint it, and I'm totally not into raw steel vintage frames!

  2. Unfortunately I don't even remember it. It's kind of a local eBay ripoff! I stumbled upon it through google, but he eventually took it down, preferring to build it up himself.

  4. Hi Rory ,
    I don't think the cromed frame in pict can be a Galmozzi . May be probably a IDEOR ASSO , very similar lugs to Galmozzi frame , bat not same "father"
