TLC Torelli Legnano Ciocc Italian eye candy
I got these last week. All three in one week. Pretty cool. When it rains it pours. Three generations of Italian steel. 1960, 1980, 1990. I've only ridden the Torelli so far and it rides really really great. Smooth as silk and climbs fantastic out of the saddle. That Legnano is a garage queen. All original, even the bar tape-which I dont have on for the photos. Pirelli tires dont hold air but I will keep them for originality. The Ciocc was also a garage queen but cleaned up very nice indeed. Cool panto on some of the parts.

No question, the Green Legnano is one clean machine that I wouldn't dream of finding on Craigslist, but there it was, clear pictures that Joe pointed me to on his way to collect it.
Sorry, Joe, but the others could as well be Huffies next to that Legnano.

That Legnano looks like it just rolled off the stores display! What a great score.

That Legnano is a garage queen. Have not ridden it yet, but looking foward to it. I did ride the Ciocc and it is fantastic. I picked up all three on CR at, what I thought was a pretty good price. I just cleaned them up a bit. The chrome on the Legnano is fantastic. One problem is that the previous owner had those dump license stickers put on for the last 5 years that they did that stuff.

Those are pretty easy to remove. Just warm them with a hair dryer to soften the adhesive and they should peel right off. Use acetone or 3M adhesive remover to remove the leftover adhesive.
