Graziella Triplet Tandem 1969?




Did some research today on this weird triplet tandem that was left here in the shop. Its was made in Italy by Graziella, im guessing in the 1960's. This particular brand was a big seller in Italy in the 1960s-1970s. This company made a lot of folding bikes.



This one has what looks to be a baby seat welded onto the back. Which I was unable to find any other ones with a baby seat, makes me wonder if it was welded on by a previous owner , but it really does look like it belongs to the bike. Its small 16" tires were put on with the thought process that very small children could fit on and ride the tandem bicycle. This tandem is so big that it does not fold. It has front and back drum brakes and a generator for the front light.
