Hello, I'm a new be to this site. I've been into 2 wheel things for years and main interest is Vintage motorcycles. I've been collecting (or hoarding) old bicycles for a while also.
I have a couple old Schwinn 10 speeds (chicago) and I have had this old Atala single speed for a while now and I have not been able to find out anything about it. When I do a search for Atala bicycles , I get alot of info on their fixed gear bikes, but nothing about the old bikes (unless its a fixed gear).
This Atala is very unique (I think). It has Sturrip style brakes and the brakes have mechanical linkage run through the frame. It also has an enclose chain with motorcycle style chain adjusters.
The handlebars and rims should be Nickle/ Chrome plated, but were painted to keep them form rusting more.
The only place I have ever seen anything on this bike was a picture of an identical bike hanging on the wall of a pizza place at the local mall. The Brooks saddle isnt correct, but the Gris saddle is pictured under the bike.
Any body have any info on this bike?
