I have a thron framed bike and it's a lovely springy, lively ride.

I've been under the impression with these that someone had some unknown stock frames and had them sprayed and added a sexy sounding Italian name, but could be wrong?

I know lm an old cynic but experience tells me that if something looks too good to be true then invariably it is too good to be true

the one you liked is sold. Is there anything you'd like to tell us? If you didn't buy it then all you need is an unloved frame in need of a paint job, and job's a good'un!

found this nugget

Primorosso was the house brand of a bike shop in Zwijndrecht (Belgium) called Primator.

They ordered their frames from wherever was cheapest at the time (Italy, Spain, Japan....) and had them finished in Belgium.

What? Why?

Seems like the crank goes into a geared hub and then a second? I'm wondering if it an attempt to have a 9-16 speed from two 3-4 Sturmey Archer hubs?

Why make things difficult when with a little more effort you could make them bloody impossible

Yeah, before lunch they tried to make a pedal powered coffee grinder and after lunch the initial idea was a bit hazy so next best thing would be a bicycle crank !
