Trust me...you don't want to see the Legnano cause it lived a life too long outside. Water must of gotten into one of the chainstay tubes near the bottom bracket, froze and split the tube open about 1" long by 3/8"wide. I didn't notice it until I got home so I was bummed but I'm not going to complain for getting three bikes for twenty bucks. The lips of the split curl outwards and the inside is completely covered in rust. Not to mention the bottom bracket is almost seized and I couldn't get the cups out. I hate to see what the rest of the frame looks like inside. I mean it was a nice frame with Campy dropouts. The rear derailleur, crank arms, pedals, stem, bars and Mafac Racer calipers were about the only usable items. The fork should be good I'm hoping as It looked like it was all chrome but the dropouts are completely covered in rust.
