I have wondered about the lugs used on this Acermex import? Bought this Carabela because of the beautiful head lug.

Beautiful bike!

Huh? That’s a different one, pretty cool though.

I did some research and everything I have come up with agrees with your decision Harpo. Beautiful bike and excellent restoration as usual.

That is a beautiful bike. One of my favorite colors. I agree with Eric on the Brooks saddle. That used looks perfect on there, like it really belongs.

Another pic after a little work

Trying a pic of my phone with my older iPad

I apologize but for some reason it is not letting me upload a pic of the complete bike?? Says the pic is too big? Technological idiot here😀, any help appreciated. Thanks also for the serial number help.

Pic of bike as I have it

Sorry late getting back, been under the weather. Bought this a few years ago at a swap. Frame, fork, chain guard, crankset and seat post. Hadn’t been able to put it back stock so put a set of new wheels, saddle and bars to tide as a single speed.

I have a Compax one serial number after this one, G33438

Was just reading through this and realized one of my Compax is a serial number right after one on this list. G33438

Do you still have this frame? I may be interested.

Would my Continental be a 1951 or are the A serial numbers different from them?

I have a Continental that has an AO serial number.

Thanks so much for the reply and input. I really appreciate it.

It appears these are fairly hard to come by. This is not something I normally ask, but any idea what a 1949/50 would be worth? Bike looks completely original but fairly rough. Three speed, green. Sorry don’t have pics. Trying to figure out if I should pick it up. I am in Indiana. Just ball park...

Nice grab!

I have never seen the front rod derailleur used with a triple front sprocket before.

Very beautiful bike! Violet always really pops!

Amazing bike!

That Kool orange really pops! What a great regular ride!

Beautiful frame set! Getting close to a 1980 date?

Beautiful frame set Jesper, congrats!

I believe I read somewhere that the lugs were “in house” and made by Bauer?

As always, thanks so much Juvela, for all the great information and illustration! The rear hub didn’t seem to want to clean and I couldn’t observe any markings on it. I know Jesper is also seeking information on the Rigida rims going back to the 40’s I believe. I was able to decipher some...

A few more pics……

After several years of being set aside my 1957 Bauer Weltmeister is finally coming together. I have the correct, I believe, rear derailleur for the build, but ran in to trouble early on trying to get that working. While trying to adjust the spring tension in, the nut came off and looks like I...

Beautiful bike!

I still have two or three of those Peugeots, I will need to check, but I believe they are labeled Chromolux? Nice thing about those years is that they do have a date stamp. When I was looking for information on the rims I couldn’t find anything on the C model but the Deco did come up. Would...

Appreciate your input Jesper and I would love a little history on the rims. My only other experience with the steel Rigidas are from late 60’s early 70’s Peugeot UO8 of that period.

This is a quick pic of my 1957, not nearly as nice as the black beauty, but near and dear to me. Has a way to go on getting everything hooked up and working if my health can allow to get it accomplished. Will post more pics when rideable……

Will do on the photos of the Bauer. You spurred me to get a couple of hours work in yesterday, and today I will get back at it and try to grab a couple of pics too.

Seat lug reminds me of a Frejus

Very nice Jesper!

Wow! Very cool German bikes! Makes me determined to finish my 57 Bauer Weltmeister.

I’ve not ridden my Motobecane nearly enough, but like yours, mine is the lightest bike in the considerable masses that I own, and definitely very smooth. Enjoy the ride!

Congrats on the Vitus! They are beautiful and lightweight bikes. I have an 81 Motobecane that is a Vitus bike. Definitely one of my keepers.

That is too cool!

Wish I could help. I have three, two 1946’s and a 1942. From my experience the prewar are very rare and yours is by far the best example I have seen.

Recognize those fenders from the Moulton F Frame site. Very nice work, great redo!

Every Centurion I have road have been fantastic. The paint is usually above quite a few also. Very nice!

I agree! Gorgeous!

I think I have seen a breakdown on dating these somewhere, just can recall as of now. When I do I will post something. May have been on the Condorino site.

Just wanted to get a pic of my 53 Tipo Roma I have been putting back together. Took her for a very short spin around the block, and feels like it’s gonna be a great ride.

After coming across your bike on another site, with your serial number being an FM it puts it at a 63/64. Mine is an FA which puts it at a 62. This is a compilation of serial numbers off of the site Condorino. com. This is a great site for anything pertaining to the Legnano brand. A ton of...

Looks like great fun and some beautiful bikes!

I like it, dig the swallow saddle. My 69 PX10 has I believe the same seat post in the same size?

That’s awesome!
