BRAND: VISCONTEA "Sport", 40s

DESCRIPTION

Damned "Bruciata" on a 40s sports frame Viscontea, a Milanese brand founded in the 30s. Very refined construction details, from the headset with branded handlebar clamp ring, to the inserts in the chromed head tube, up to the rear dropouts with a spider web structure and with the squared seat clamp ring. Other notable elements are the sports front hub with grease nipple and above all the anonymous contemporary two-piece crankset. In the aesthetic overall this bike is based on the relationship between the oxidized elements of the metal part, with the earth-toned color of the tires and saddle and the sporty aesthetic and posture approach given by the two-piece "C" handlebar.
