Atala 3 speeds
I have an old Atala 3-speed that I am trying to reasemble, and I can't seem to find anything about it on the internet. Does anyone have any information about, and/or pictures of the old 3-speed model? I think it may have been called a City Bike, and probably had a full chain guard. The wheels are 27X1+1/8, that is if I have found the right ones to go with it. I know the fenders are correct.
Anyway, here are some pictures.

Nice. The Atalas were some of the nicer 3-speeds sold in the U.S. at about the time everybody stopped caring about three speeds.

My neighbor has an old 10 speed rusting away under his patio roof. No where as pretty as yours. Looks like an easy cleanup.
I have a 3 speed coaster brake version of that rear hub if you'd have an interest.
