I am quite surprised that nobody has been speaking about the Legnano Roma Olympiad that Nick has offered on ebay. This bike is a very special bike and deserves some more attention. We should also complement Nick for not succumbing to the lure of quick money by parting the bike out. This bike has a lot of very collectible components that alone would bring in a lot more than the bike is now attracting. It has the 1st generation Campagnolo chainset (the one with the pedal caps on the inside of the cranks) as well as the corresponding pedals (the ones with the short pedal spindle threads) the early Campagnolo headset, badged Cinelli stem and bars, narrow rail Campagnolo seatpost with Brooks/Campagnolo saddle. It does have some components that puzzle me somewhat like the brakes, the English BB and 27" wheel size. I wonder if the bike was built for the British market? Any comments?
