Description
Innovative model for its time, produced by the Bergami Bicycle Factory in Rome. In fact, it features the revolutionary "wheel turn" system . Thanks to a double threading on the rear hub , it mounts on one side the free sprocket and on the other the fixed-gear sprocket of different sizes ( often used also in training ) . Riders arrived at the foot of a challenging climb , dismounted and by means of the convenient butterfly clamps dismounted the rear wheel and turned it and tackled the slopes with a suitable ratio .
