Brand Carnielli, Model Rodeo, located in Italy, frame size M, in used condition, manufactured in 1970, with an aluminum frame and weighing 25 kg.
Description from the seller
I’m selling a splendid and very rare original Carnielli Rodeo Cross bicycle from the 1970s, a true icon for all the kids of the era and a must-have piece for collectors of "saltafossi" and vintage bikes.
The bicycle is preserved and completely original, and comes with all its rarest components, extremely difficult to source today on the spare-parts market.
Main features and details of value:
- Central lever shift ("Stick Shift") original Carnielli with a vintage wood-effect placard glued on.
- Large front headlight with a black protective grille in cross/moto style.
- Double rear spring suspension and a front fork with suspension.
- Original long "chopper" saddle with the word "Saltafoss" on the rear and a tall bullhorn-style handlebar.
- Logos, the words "Rodeo" and "Cross" on the frame and fenders still present and legible.
- Brakes with Carnielli levers.
Condition of the item:
The bike appears as in the photo (kept in a garage). The frame is solid and straight. It shows the usual signs of aging and light surface rust on the chrome parts (handlebar and bolts), ideal for a perfect conservational restoration project or for enthusiasts in the field. The tires need inflation/inspection.
