I believe I have seen this bike in person at the Canadian Wheelman Old Tyme Bicycle Races (Thanks Larry Strung). It is very straight and correct. I negotiated a bit on it and hoped to swap a Cinelli B for the Legnano. The Cinelli was a 55cm and way too small for me and this bike was a little bigger but I was still lukewarm. The seller was on the same plane as he needed a smaller bike. Anyway the deal didn't happen. Swapping the Cinelli B (very nice example) gives my idea of the value of this bike.
