The company went bankrupt in 1952 after not following the market trends for scooters & mopeds, and the non-payment for a large shipment of machines to Argentina.

Hello friends, I am the owner of a Sertum 250cc w/ rear suspension. This is very different from the photos I am seeing on the web, this motorcycle has 2 horizontal tubes with springs in them under the engine similar to the Guzzi 500
Falcone. I would like to find the year and the model and possibly photos for this particular bike, and any other info that would help me in the restoration process. The motocycle frame number is 13000. If anyone has any information on this
bike, could you please contact me, it would be greatly appreciated.

Hello to all!
I have owned a Sertum 250VL since 1981. I know little about her including her age! By the pictures I have seen on this site she appears to be older. The SN 3043 might be of help if there are any listings available.
Most of the paint seems to be original except for brushed touchups from accidents. The color is a rich red with White stripes on either side of the center bead. They are about 4mm. wide. She must have been dropped a Few times or just mishandled. Once owned by a merchant marine I know she is a veteran world traveler. I haven't driven her since 1982 but I am planning a full restoration in the next 2 years.
I would enjoy hearing from any and all fellow Sertum owners. I need literature, parts books, and photocopies of these motorcycles to aid in my project. Due to the damage on the machine I will need a replacement light/horn switch/button mounted on the handlebar. A correct taillight replacement or a good picture to make a copy would be of help. Handle grips, foot peg rubbers, starter rubbers or anything available for this motorcycle will be appreciated! Thank you! -- Gary R. Frankel -- Concord Ohio USA Reply to: grf at 3ace.net

Good evening,
I am restoring a 500cc Sertum. The bike was a military bike and it was painted in red after the war. I haven't yet decided which colour it will be but I am struggling to get the colour code for the paining. Someone told me that
Lechkler is making both red and green Sertum colour but no one is able to tell me more.
Do you know the code for both red and green?
Thanks a lot

Dear Sir,
For quite a long time I have been trying to find information about Sertum on the Internet. The only thing I ever came across is the forum on the "European motorcycle universe", with only a few messages. I have recently transported my
Sertum motorcycle to my garage and decided to restore it, but since I cannot begin work without technical information or other data, information about it would be invaluable.
I hope you can help me, or at least tell me where I can find information about Sertum (an URL address or email). I believe the one in my possession was produced in about 1938. The capacity of the cylinder is probably 250ccm. It may, however, be 500ccm, I cannot be certain since I have not as yet opened the engine. The chassis number is *12367* , and the engine number *10660*.
I look forward to your reply, and any information you can provide me with will be appreciated.
Sincerely yours

Dear Sir,
I am very interested in motorcycle. I am now trying to restore a Sertum of 1932-1935. I do not know what its original colour was, if it was black or red. Could you help me to get this information?
Thanking you in advance and looking forward to hearing from you soon -- Gianluca Chiti
Hello Gianluca and Euro Moto mailing listees,
Sertum was founded in 1922 by Fausto Alberti. Before that date, Sertum was well known for it's manufacture of precision instruments. The factory was situated in the city of Milan (Italy). Sertum started with the production of a 174cc side
valve single, soon followed by a 119cc two stroke single. In the thirties Sertum had a variety of bikes in production: singles, twins, with side-valves, but also overhead valves and overhead camshafts. After the World War II Sertum was one
of the first factories which was able to start production again. At the 1947 Milan Motorshow they showed an impressive variety of new models. In 1948 Sertum hold together with Bianchi, Gilera, Guzzi and Parilla 97.74% of Italian
registrations for motorcycles. It was a big factory at the time, the first post war years were definitely Sertum's golden years.
Unfortunately thereafter it went slowly bad for the factory, and in 1953 the factory was closed. Many factories were to follow later in the fifties.
Sertum also has a racing history. The brand is well known for it's long distance racing victories (like the Raid Nord-Sud, Milan-Taranto) and it's ISDT victories.
Anyway, your Sertum is made between 1932 and 1935. It is very little to go on, but one of these models could be it:
Sertum 120-S (1933-1938)
Sertum 175 VL (1931 - 1946)
Sertum 200 Batua (1931 - 1939)
Sertum 250 VL (1931- 1939) --> not to be mistaken with the post-war
250VL (1947 - 1953)!
Depending on the model, I can give you a description of the bike, colors, technical specifications etc.
