Finally riding a big boys bike
I married an Italian (actually Sicilian), but I'm Irish. Do I get a "half a point" for that, lol.
By the way, nice picture. A lot of people don't know that there was a large Italian front during WWI. So much attention is paid to the trenches in France and Belgium that they often overlook other fronts including the Russian and Turkish ones.

Hi guys, I'm new here, and new in the bicycle world too.
First need to say I'm Argentinian, so my english use to be pretty bad.
Some of my ancestors were Bersaglieri, and a lot of pleople of the town where I live, have ancestors that were in the piedmontese army too.
My plot is: I've restored an english roadcoaster for myself, and when my mechanic saw it was amazed. So he sends me an old bike to restore. I have no information about this bicycle, but looking here and there found that is very similar to the 1912 model.
I saw the pictures in the BSA museum (here: http://bsamuseum.wordpress.com/1911-bianchi-military-folding-bicycle/)
The one I have presents the same front shock absorbers, and rear suspension (the 'cushion frame'). Same crown gear and pedals, same brackets....
Is exactly like the Bianchi 1912, BUT isn't a folding machine.
So my question is, do you know any another bicycle of this kind?
The frame have stamped near the saddle tube the number 108175, and no other information or symbol
(comes with a german hammock 'veleda' and bowden tourism rear bracket, but I don't know if that's original from the bicycle).
I've uploaded some bad pictures to an album, if yoou want to take a first look.

Bianchi Bersaglieri
Yes, this is a Bersaglieri bicycle too, there were models without the folding system, see here:
This is my Bianchi Bersaglieri:
This is my Steyr Waffenrad Klapprad, built in 1912. Its one of my favourite bikes and its very rare, i know only of one more existing. Even pictures showing this kind of Steyr bicycles are very rare... it was used in WW1 by the Austro-hungarian army. The picture is some months old, the bike is now ready, the frontbrake is not missing anymore.

That is one fine piece of mechanical history! Museum worthy!
Thanks for sharing those pics.
