Head badge says Allegro, frame details say no






I bought this bike years ago with the intention to restore it. Never got around to it and finally decided to pass it on. Upon closer inspection it appears to have been rebadged (?)

This bike lacks two distinctive details that every Allegro of this time period should have: the small tag with serial number brazed to the seat tube and wrap around seat stays. The serial number and what I believe to be month and year of manufacture are stamped into BB shell.

Frame has been repainted and some components have been changed. (rear derailleur, fork, and stem) Campy hubs are 'No Record' with CAM 60 lock nuts. BB shell is 68mm. Stronglight 57 crankset. Mafac 'Dural Forge' brakes. Campy 25.0 shimmed seat post.

One more bit of info. Allegro head badge, when compared to those on my other Allegros has the exact same rivets used as fasteners.

Last bit of info: a genuine Allegro from 1961 would have a serial number beginning around 167... and consisting of six digits.

So what do I have here?
