Speaking of Legnano's, I've just purchased one & I'd like to get your opinion on its age. The frameset is Reynolds 531, chrome fork, pale blue metallic finish. Lugs are rather long, single point...no chrome anywhere aside from the fork. Seatstays are simple looking; come to a point at mid-seat lug. The frame measures 58.5x58.5 c/c. It's got a Shimano 6 speed on a Normandy Luxe Competition high flange hubset, 700c Weinmanns, the oldest Shimano 600 rr derailleur ( flourishes) , Ofmega NR copy cranks, Ofmega HS, Universal Super 68 calipers. There is a small round, red Legnano Gran Premio decal on the downtube...& a decal in the shape of a scroll at the shifters (Campy) that reads "Legnano 6 Volte Campione del Mondo". The bike is a comfortable ride, steers quite nicely; no toe overlap...neither squirrely nor slow. It doesn't 'feel' as old as the components, actually. What year might it be? Jim Hultman
