Frame identification help needed

[Rockin]

Hi there

Anyone about to help identify this frame? Paint job is obviously an amateur job but I can't find any similar frames out there, it looks fairly decent and would it be worth restoring?

As it's got 'Sala' decals and a 'Sala' seat pin clamp then might it not be a 'Sala'? A brand I've never heard of though!

Re:

Exactly my thoughts...never heard of sala and can find nothing on the interwebnet.

There where quite a few brands associated to independent Italian bici shops in the 60s/70s, this could be along those lines? - a bit of a guess though! The shop would sell bikes branded under their own name. I have one branded as 'Cassia' that was from an old shop that was somewhere in the Italian Alps.

Re:

Thanks for that. I was thinking if there was any connection to Enrico Sala but certainly think that you are more than likely correct.

There may well be a connection of some sort there, I wouldn't rule it out!

Stumbled on this. Shop opened in 1983. Maybe an early bike from this independent shop?
