WHITE Mod. SAPPHIRE, 1948

DESCRIPTION

Damned "Conserved" on Sapphire frame (first series) dated 1948. The little original gray color has survived the events in a courageous way, and despite the conditions, the characteristic of this frame becomes fundamental in the aesthetic choice of coupling it with an important element such as the suspension fork, of the same color and also reached us in the same welcome "not good" conditions. This fork certainly derives, considering its robust construction characteristics, from a moped rather than a suspension bicycle, but despite this the mechanical coupling was perfect. The result of this pairing gives us a bicycle particularly suitable for use on the typical road surface of Italian historic centers made up of cobblestones.
