I have about 50 old bikes,mostly Italian bikes.

Well...the Rubino certainly is good looking. And check out that interesting rear suspension.

But I can't tell you anything about it. So I'll move on.

Here's a 1946 Rex

I spotted the photo below and 'clicked' on it. I found that it was attached to a website with a vile political philosophy. So I backed right out of there.
As a result, I don't know anything about this bike.

But it's unusual.

The bottom one is a Neracar, designed by Carl Neracher of New Jersey. Made in America, and licenced in Britain and France. There's even a stretch limo/taxi version picture.

I'll hunt out the Rubino. It might be Spanish or Portuguese. We'll see.

The style indicates Spanish or Portuguese to me, but the name Rubino is so common as to defeat conventional searching.

Hold on.

Right, I've got the black shades on. "I'll be back."

Do you have a patch on the paintwork this shape? Bianchi had a bicycle model in 1947 called the Rubino.
