findings from the junkyard vol.1

[fdoc]

The friendly owner of the nearby second-hand bike retailer moved his storage to another location,so some odd bikes emerged from the "deep"...

I think it's an Austrian(?)fabrication from the late fifties/early sixties(?)
Check out the derailleurs and please note the original wooden-rims!
And we have a pair of stock-old hairnet-helmets in brand-new condition.
The brake levers and the handlebar-taping are practically unused (+ brake cables are obviously new) so I suppose they can not be original.
Brake-calipers&pads are from Weinmann,Cortina (I've never heard about this brand -if it was a brand?) rod-operated front and cable-operated rear derailleurs.

Really nice bike that one - what make is it?

The badges look quite nice too.

thats cool, love the rear mech, strange it has a hanger on the drop out and a cable guide for it aswel the clamped mech.

some old-ten-speed roadie

Well,we weren't able to figure out yet.
The stickers are lost or mainly damaged,mostly shapes can be seen. Here is the front-badge :?

Hi fdoc,

Not an expert but Capo used to be a company in Vienna producing bikes until ~1975. The company still excists today, they don't build bikes anymore but still sell bikes http://nyx.at/bikeboard/Board/showthrea ... timer-capo
