Condorino!
The seat post binder bolt and the headset are nice things to have.
If there are any crusty bits off this machine that need a home let me know.

shape of drive side dropout appears to be the same as the Juy model Competition Nr. 934 -
OEM gear ensemble likely to have been Juy of Italy
cycle appears to date from time when Juy Italy plant was in operation

I don't remember seeing this type of chain guard bracket before. Interesting...

Like I wrote, lots on ebay.it besides the random one I pictured. Search "carter legnano" and pick the one that floats your boat.
Dirt, not brazed. Bracket is under the fixed cup.

You are buying this frame for $100 and you are going to worry the chainguard bracket isn't an exact match?buying

This one look to be the 2nd-from-the-top level of frame - no slot in the seatlug.
My theoretical worry about a bracket being brazed on is that I'd have to remove it, I ride a boy's bike.
(Dirt's no bother, and thanks for the new search term.)

No, I have no interest in this Legnano; I already got one, but if I did not I'd be in for that $100, even with the bad rear.

And in addition to "carter", try "paracatena" and "copricatena" for chainguard. The only conversational Italian I know is in bike parts.
