Hey retyred, if the deal goes down like that I'm not sure if I will feel as good though! I had to drop it off at my storage and I haven't had the time to examine it much yet. Chrome should clean up nicely but the paint condition tells me it's going to need a bit of work. Remember anything else about your early 60's Legnano? This one has a TTT stem and TTT "TOURIST" handlebars on it and I think steel San Remo 27 x 1 1/4" rims. I do have the front derailleur cage for it as well but it was tied onto the seatpost and I had to take it off to get it into my car and I pocketed it. Thats some interesting lever action going on there with that front derailleur.
