Pretty Cool Bike - and I have a question
Hello, this bike is a real beauty!
I am glad to have found this website and your description as I have a Geminiani with mostly this equipment, and would really like to know about its´ year of fabrication.
Mine differs in some details:
- Campagnolo HANDLEBAR END shifters
- Campagnolo Gran Sport Rear pusher version 1956-60 (the one shown here is 1960-on, already without adjusting screw)
- Reynolds model 55
- Geminiani sign fixed with rivets
- different frame joints (design not that playful as the one´s shown here)
- 5-digit frame number starting with 114xx
If you know anything about this kind of versioning/equipment I´d be really grateful if you could get in contact with me.
Thank you very much and keep on with your good work on this outstanding webpage!
Kind Regards
Jurgen
