Folks......... why you don't ask me? No secrets about Cornelo bikes and as Mike already told; Italian made for a Belgium/Dutch company in the 70 and 80ties. The name is based on the name of the son of the owner of the bikeshop "Cornel". In these days the branch was split in 2 style's, the Dutch/Belgian style (Gazelle, Batavus, RIH, Flandria, Plum, etc.) and the Italian style (Herwerden, Cornelo, Giovanni, Duell, Presto, Zieleman, etc.) The small brands love to produced their frames in Italy or made them like the Italian did with lot of chrome, pantographs and nice paintwork. Ofcourse because of the big Italian brands where very popular. Nice detail; these frames are made of Columbus AND Reynolds tubing both.
