Hi, Paulo!

 

Good for you on the RM! Lot's of great archives here to keep you happy with her.

 

Seems to me (?) the Rosso Mandello is a 2001 "short frame" (though black not red) with the narrow rear wheel (4.5 in), white guages (Veglia), and the single plate clutch common to the Scura and Tenni.

 

So, I know this isn't a quiz, but does that all seem right to everyone?

 

Hang on, Paulo, this is going to be a great ride!

Hi Paulo. Welcome to Guzzis!

 

Dunno about the gauges, Docc, but short frame, single plate clutch & smaller rim are right for RM.

Paul, as you are in Ireland, you could send me your contact details and I'll add you to an occasional email list.

There are a few bikes around here, but you seldom see them – and there is no support.

 

I'm aiming to arrange a meeting South of the Border at some stage over the summer, so if you want to meet up, let me know.

 

See www.belfastguzzi.com

and the forlorn, abandoned, NIguzzi.yuku.com – no harm in trying!
