Built, probably around 1958/9. He was then using Campy stuff. The Mansfield saddle was also typical of this period. Also, it was not built in Sunnyside. It was built at his later shop on Roosevelt Ave as the decal indicates. He left Sunnyside sometime around 1952 where he had been since the late 30′s. He still, however, called the shop “Sunnyside Cycle Shop”.

He would use Chatterle (CL) crank sets and fiammi rims (spelling may not be correct). Colors – black, baby blue, white and chrome. Also I do not remember the shape of the Mansfield saddle shown being on his bikes

PS: Is there a market for these bikes. Mine were built in 1955.
