FS: 1974 Lygie

This is a nice, small Lygie. 52cm ctc seat tube, 54cm ctc top tube. Reynolds 531. Original paint as far as I can tell. Was missing down tube decal and head badge decal when I bought it. Reproduction down tube decal is from earlier period but looks good and at least identifies the brand of bike. Full Campagnolo NR group. Somewhat worn Selle San Marco saddle. New bar tape, cables, tires. Overall in very good condition with a few small scrapes and scratches. There are a few small dents in the chrome section of the seat tube. I tried to get them in a picture but they are hard to see. Completely cleaned, lubed and serviced and ready to go.

Campagnolo 27.2mm NR seat post
Campagnolo Record brakes and levers with good shape globe hoods
Campagnolo headset
Campagnolo Record rear derailleur, Patent 74
Campagnolo 144 bcd crankset and bottom bracket, diamond 4
Campagnolo Record front derailleur
Campagnolo shift levers
Campagnolo pedals
Cinelli stem and handlebars
Campagnolo hubs, Mavic 700c clincher rims
Selle San Marco saddle

All components are in very good condition.

SOLD

I hear $1400 in free cash may be coming my way - but it is waay too small.

Is the seat tube decal in the chrome panel original or a repro? I ask because I also have a very similar Lygie and that decal has about crumbled off. It would be wonderful to find a source. (Mine had the original headbadge thankfully.)

Dang! That's really Nice!
Super classic frame details, plus a really pleasant shade of blue Too details!

Maybe if I didn't have enough unfinished projects, I would have jumped on this one.....
