The Embacher Collection -Vienna

From an obsessive confrontation with design, Michael Embacher discovered his love of bicycles years ago. His inquisitive interest in creative, rare, offbeat, and even bravely failed models led to the creation of his unusual bicycle collection since 2003, which to date has seldom been accessible for a larger audience. The Embacher Collection distinguishes itself through its more than 200 functioning bicycles and the rarity of the objects. Word of the special nature of these exhibits has spread beyond the circle of connoisseurs. Cyclopedia, the second illustrated volume on the Embacher Collection after Smart Move, was published in February 2011. more here-

Paganini is the house racing bike brand of the shop Plum-Vainqueur, which is a very old established bike shop in Ghent, Belgium. The frames are apparently imported frames rebadged with the shop's logos. There is some discussion about whether they are made by Torpado or Ciocc. The frames do often share some features with Ciocc frames, like the little Italian flag details brazed on to the top tube
