This is one that will be waiting on me when I get home from deployment--1947 Arbos Corsa with Campagnolo Cambio Corsa drivetrain. I have to paint a panel on the seat tube along with the headtube and apply decals supplied by @Gus. I love these early Italian road bikes. V/r Shawn

Beautiful machine.
Stylish and purposeful
I'm currently looking at buying some CB Italia rims, they look really good on there.
Ditto to what @bulldog1935 commented re. the gear changer; a friend has a 'Vittoria Margherita' system on one of his old bicycles but I've never seen a "Cambio Corsa" system in actual use.
Look forward to hearing how it rolls.
 
Very very nice. I'm digging the Cambio Corsa RD - one of my grail features, regardless of the impracticability.
 
Beautiful! Great direction to explore in bike collecting. Those early Italian roadies are pure art.

It will be next year before I get home and can see the bike. Once I have it assembled I’ll post better pics. V/r Shawn
