Eric's Morris

     This bike belongs to one of our employees, Eric.  I wish I had a before picture of this bike, it was CRUSTY! He spent many hours polishing, detailing, tuning up, and sourcing parts. It is an Italian marque, Morris. Lesser known, but maker of high quality frames. Original decals and very nice chromovelato finish. The whole frame is chrome plated and then a red translucent laquer is applied over the chrome. When the sun hits it, it SHINES! Very Italian. He built it up with a mostly Gipiemme, Modolo, Galli group set. that fork was Sooo rusty, he took it down to the clean metal underneath and plans to get it chrome plated to finish the build off. very nice work all around. Enjoy the photos!

At the last swapmeet, we picked up this interesting crankset. Not only is it unique having 6 spider arms, instead of the usual 5, but it is also stamped with Ernesto Colnago's signature. It was produced in the early 1980s and was made by the Italian company Gipiemme. Colnago used a a 6 arm crank in the mid to late 1970s made by the Italian company Ambrosio. Just a weird little piece.
