The Leggy appears to be a repaint/redecal and kluged restoration. A really bad job.
The REW reynold was a find for the winner, unless there was a dent. Even with the Maxy it looks somewhat special.
The late 70's super course were the best of the line even if they lacked chrome of the version in the earlier part of the decade.
I just got an early 70's Bozzi (Leggy) in flamboyant green with red pin stripes. It is not quite accurate at the moment. I do have a correct stem and I can still get a Brooks Pro Saddle to make it accurate. With it I go back to my beginning interest. I would have gotten it in 1972 instead of the Mod 54 that I got: if, I had just a bit more info, a bit more cash, and a local dealer network able to sell a Roma Olympiad.
I expect it in about 2 weeks. Fulfilling dreams one at a time.
Thanks for sharing.
On another note. What are your plans for 11/29? Care to share a belated Turkey day with Lori and I?
