Anyone heard of....

a Peraugelo Olagnero?

Scanning the classifieds of our local paper, Mrs A noticed this bike for sale. Said to be made in Italy. A Google search produces absolutely nothing, zilch, zero.

Any of you fine chaps or lasses heard of it?

I caught it off a woman of ill repute but the cream has helped

Had a similar thing the other week GA - a French sounding bike in our local rag, I couldn't find out anything about it. Could well be spelt wrong - that's my theory.

Ps Love the 'Lincolnshire Mountain Rescue Technician' line!!

Buy it! It is obviously a copied note which reads something like '... SignedbyErnest Ocolnago...'

This may have a connection

here's another ref


The bike is almost all an Italian bike now. The Frame (lugged steel) is made by OLAGNERO who is a small bike maker in Italy.

Gerry's back - to announce that he has just bought the 'Ernesto'

 

[Gerry Attrick]

No intention of buying anything me old mate. Just curious to know what its all about. As always, you guys have come up with information where Google has failed.

Thanks for your responses.

Oh and TBM, I am not called often in my capacity as Lincolnshire Mountain Rescue Technician, but I like to think I provide comfort should anyone be in need.

Paddy O'Lagnero - A well known Irish builder. When not fitting kitchens and bathrooms he uses the left over bits of pipe from the plumbing jobs to build bikes.
Apparently his lightweight 'uPVC Sewer and bath pipe' frame was used to great effect by Bradley Wiggins on the last TdeF.

I found another frame, a Magni PEP on Ebay with the same paint job http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250648730528&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

I emailed the seller in Milan, he thinks the frames were made by Giovanni Losa, who worked for Cinelli, the fancy laquer work was undertaken by Carlo Dossena, the finished frames would have then been sent to Magni and Olagnero for decals etc
