I have exactly the same legnano frame with the Falck tubing but instead of the "Roma Olimpiade" it is a "Tipo Roma" . Equipment wise it has a cottered Legnano crankset with Simplex chainwheels and Universal 68 sidepulls. Brooks saddle instead of UnicaNitor. The rest is Campagnolo like the ebay one. I have never seen a Legnano imported in Aruba between '60 to '65 with other than Falck tubing. Rob Vermeer
