Thanks very much for posting.

Had not previously encountered this model.

Their frames are built of all Agrati bits. Lug pattern is the "AM" nr. 000.8040/U for the gent's and nr. 000.8040/D for the lady's. Heads are bulge-formed.
Fork crowns are Agrati nr. 000.8518 and are part of the "AMERICA" pattern lug set. Fork crown cap is Agrati item nr. 202.9110. Bottom bracket shell is Agrati item nr. 000.8507. Plate style chainstay & seatstay bridges are Agrati as well. Dropouts are Agrati nr. 000.8002. Fork ends are Agrati nr. 000.8010. Headset is Agrati model nr. 000.371 and has the economy zinc finish.

Front hubs are Agrati Sport nr. 000.9011. Pedals appear to be Agrati nr. 000.0631 but cannot see them well eno' to be sure. Chainsets on both machines look to be Agrati nr. 771/Z-42.

The shell of the rear hub will be marked with a specific date. Me guess would be from the 1973-74 time.

You could post the bikes to the "for sale" column. Some shoppers really enjoy finding a "his & hers" set.

Safety tip -

on both cycles the stems appear to be set too high for safety. there should be a minimum of seven to eight cm inside the steerer. would guess there is about three. :eek:
