Jim, do you know what approx diameter front hub/brake or wheel rim (17” or 18”) that bike would have? Looks like a grimeca sls twin panel 4 shoe brake, but if 17” brake looks smaller than typical 180mm version.

Hi Clint, the stock Sprite rims are 18” front and rear. The race bike in the picture has a non stock front hub, looks a lot bigger than the stock hub
A couple of the Motobi race bikes at the Pessaro museum.
