Subject: [CR] Questions about early 60s Legnano


Can anyone tell me about this old bike? I bought this Legnano, I think between about 1962 and '64, new from a dealer in San Garbrial, CA. Serial number EM7183 stamped horizontally on back of seat lug . It has the original Legnano flamboyant chartreuse with white bands, chrome headlugs/crown/stayends/forkends, bronze headtube badge, tubing - unknown steel, binder bolt in lower front of seat lug, crank - 170 mm Campagnolo Record 151 mm BCD, pedals - Campagnolo Gran Sport, Toe clips - Christophe, seat post - Campagnolo Record narrow rail (20 mm), seat - Brooks "B-17 Campagnolo" narrow rail, head set - Campagnolo Gran Sport, stem - Ambrosio Champion, Handlebar - Legnano logo Ambrosio Champion with Legnano metal end caps, brakes - Mafac center pulls, front derailleur - Campagnolo Gran Sport "no shoulder" set screw on top, rear derailleur - Campagnolo Gran Sport, Regina cluster, down tube clamp-on Campagnolo "open C" shifters, to me the hubs appear to be large flange Campagnolo Record but have Legnano logo, stainless steel spokes, rims - Fiamme tubular. I don't know the model name.

Questions: 1- Did this model have a name? 2- What year is it? 3- What can you tell me about the hubs?

I have not ridden in over 10 years but don't want to put this on ebay until I know more about it.

Thanks,
