The motorbike in the restoration I have previously written about has caused quite a stir. Knowing nothing of motorbikes myself, I did some digging and I have found out that BIANCHI was founded in Italy in 1885. From 1900 till 1939 they produced cars and commercial vehicles under the name Autobianchi, but that business was sold to Fiat. From 1897 to 1967 they built motorbikes, and today Bianchi is consedered the world’s oldest bicycle-making company still in existence. There you go.
