Taurus Lautal, Touring Bicycle, 1930, Italy<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Taurus was established in Milan <\/strong>by Vincenzo Fabbri in 1906<\/strong>, aiming to build high-quality cycles, using the best metals, alloys and components.<\/p>\n

The \u201cLautal<\/strong>\u201d name of the model (all aluminum) is clearly German-inspired.
\nBesides, Taurus always gave the impression to draw inspiration from the German build quality; the clean styling though was purely Italian.<\/p>\n

This model was surely intended for an elite audience, because the alloys used are lightweight, therefore expensive.<\/strong><\/p>\n
