Did the builder/racer lace up a smaller-dia. front rim (e.g., to enquicken the steering)? Or is the front fender scrounged from another bike? Or did Capriolo put one fender design on a range of bikes, including one with a bigger wheel? Not that I mean to carp; it's an elegant li'l whippet of a bike. Thankew, Mr G.

Beautiful machine...I love the look of Italian motorcycles of that era...
Extra points for the cork in its little carb intake horn!
Rather unusual "face cam" distribution in there. Very pretty bike.

I suspect its just the wrong fender, that does grate on me too :-)
