Le biciclette costruite per la squadra corse Arbos nel 1956 si distinguevano da quelle prodotte in serie dal design della congiunzione nodo sella e dalle testa delle pendine, simili a quello usate da Cinelli ma leggermente diverse, probabilmente prodotte dalla Agrati e non dalla svizzera Fisher. Al Tour de France la squadra Atala come pedivelle scelse le francesi Stronglight con adattatore e corone TA Specialites, movimento centrale a perno quadro.

The bicycle was found still perfectly preserved with the original components, even cables and sheaths of the gear group are original.
It is possible to identify this bike as the twenty-third of 1956 built for the Atala pro racing team due to serial the number with only 4 digits (used only on team bikes), and the special design of lugs, saddle node, and fork head. Plus the components - top of the line for 1956 - are not marked Atala like those used on the stock bikes. I could only find the same exact design of lugs and fork head in Rebour's drawings in the 1957 magazine “Le Cycle,” where he describes an Atala bike used in the 1956 Tour de France; unfortunately, the name in the caption is incorrect (Tosato raced for Torpado, not Atala). The beautiful front derailleur, is really a very special compoenent, built by Simplex Italy in 1956 was produced in a few examples for only one year. Interesting was Atala's solution of painting the body of the derailleur with the same color as the bike. The Simplex Juy 543 rear derailleur, with its cable routing system welded to the frame, was also used on all standard Atala bikes. Galmozzi for some of the 1950s built frames for the Atala team, in this frame it is possible to recognize several construction details, as well as the 4-digit serial number and the vent holes on the chainstays and fork, which make it plausible that it was built by Francesco.

Viscontea 1952
Viscontea 1952
Condition: restored with original “coppale” decals (70 years old)
The frame design is interesting and quite original for those years, but Viscontea was always distinguished from its competitors by the originality of its construction details.
The saddle lug with the pointed rear stays has a very strong and powerful shape, together with the cables inside the top tube create a “brutalist” look of a real steel machine, contrasting with the delicacy and elegance of the fork head.
This frame, with both shift cables on the right side, is an unusual example of Italian racing bike in the early 50s. 1951 and 1952 in Italy were an important moment of transition, the first Campagnolo parallelogram rear derailleur with the new GS front derailleur and dropouts were born, in parallel Simplex (the Italian factory) responded with new dropouts with a fixing eyelet for the Simplex TDF and JUY 51 rear derailleur (they do not appear in the French catalogs and were probably intended exclusively for Italian manufacturers).
The Huret front derailleur on this bike is identical to the Simplex B52 model that came out in 1952, a couple of years after the Huret. Both, Huret and SImplex front derailleurs, were designed for cable routing to the right of the frame, for use with the double shift levers.

Frame made by Rauler (Reggio-Emilia), that can be seen from the headset lug, which is still the one used by Colnago until 1970, something only Rauler did on the frames built for Colnago and in general the frame is much more finished than the Colnagos of those years.
