The Frame - Part I

I inspect the frame and there does not seem to be any damage. Lots of parts are missing though: front and rear footrests, rear handlebars, side stand, rear seat with its springs, the mounts for the rear seat, the leg shields, and the tool boxes. The front and rear mudguards are not standard SA. Looking closely at the rear I find a metal valence has been tack welded onto the original rear mudguard. I remove this and, viola! the original SA shape emerges. Calls and emails are sent to Stucchi for the rest and a month later a large box shows up filled with Italian art.
