Stella from Italy
Picked up this beauty last month. I was told by the owner that her grandma brought it from Italy in 1960... That's all I know. Came with a pair of New Perelli's and tool bag with original tools still inside.
The bike has not been riden very much and is very clean. Working on the cottered cranks now.... I am just taking my time. Will post more pics when I am finished... Hope you like Stella Veneta.....

I love the old Italian city bikes. You have such a great project on your hands and I know you will enjoy riding it when you are done.
Make sure you get details from the family about dates the bike was bought and came over as they truly add to the story.
