Itom
Classic Bikes
The Itom factory was founded in
Turin by lawyer Corrado Corradi, and began production
in 1948 at Via Francesco Millio, moving later
to S.Ambrogio Torinese.
Their first product was an auxiliary
bicycle engine (3 versions one for front wheel
2 for rear wheel - close to pedals or over the
rear wheel)
The 1957 Astor Super Sport and
Competizione achieved 75 Kph. Itom sold a tuning
kit for competition use comprising high compression
cylinder head, chrome bore cylinder, Dell Orto
SS20 carburettor, expansion chamber and piston.
The pistons were of various types with either
2 or 3 rings.
