Inevitably, as with the Rickman Brothers in England, most countries had their indigenous tuners and chassis makers/fettlers. Italy was no different to most, and in the northern region of Piedmont there was Michele Fraire, who specialised in enlarging, tuning, and reworking the Moto Guzzi Stornello engine, and modifying the frame for Motocross competition. This bike appears to be in the style of a Fraire machine, and the vendor advises us that the capacity is enlarged to 175cc. It features a Stornello frame with characteristic Fraire-type reinforcing, and Ceriani-type forks. It has formed part of the collection for approximately 10 years. An older restoration, it will require re-commissioning prior to further use. Whilst the engine turns over, its mechanical condition is unknown. There are no documents present, and it is sold strictly as viewed.
