Riding a '37 Dayton Super Streamline
Ok please don't send me the Wikipedia link because it is useless. I have also visited the Arbos registry (Italian Website) but overall can find very little on these bikes. I would like to find the pre '54 stuff before the tractor company bought them. Here is the write-up I developed to display with my '47 Corsa:
Arbos is a somewhat obscure brand that is probably better known as a manufacturer of farm machinery. The company was originally formed just after WWII in Piacenza, Italy and the name Arbos is a mesh between Araldi and Boselli the founders last names. The Arbos team competed in the 1947 Giro d'Italia where they teamed with Talbot but weren't really contenders. In 1948 they took a second in team classification in the Giro. Arbos also fielded teams in the Milano-San Remo but by 1951 it appears participation in major events ceased. In 1954 Arbos was bought by the Italian farm implement manufacturer Bubba S.a. which later changed its name to Arbos. It appears bicycle production was short lived. This bike has a “C” in the serial number indicating the Corsa or race model. This bike is also equipped with the Campagnolo Cambio Corsa drivetrain.
Any additional information or especially catalog pages from '47-53 would be much appreciated. V/r Shawn
