Help identifying Italian track frame
Hi I am new to this forum and would appreciate any help to identify the maker of this bike I brought back from my stay in Italy. The fork isn't original, the serial on top of the bb is : 1148591
Any clue ? Any reference of where to look ? Thank you.

Welcome to the forum antoinecb,
forum has rule that new members must make ten posts before being able to post images or URL's.
you can get around this by uploading your pictures to a host site and then posting the URL here in munged form.
look forward to seeing your pista di mistero.

Do not see anything to especially suggest Legnano.
A number of manufacturers used this seat binder arrangement at one time.
The frame could use a visit from our [MENTION=57649]iab[/MENTION] - appears it may be right up his via.
Could we get a pic assist with the other images - having difficulty with google at the moment.

Thanks so much for the assistenza con imagini [MENTION=443609]CoRide59[/MENTION]!
Do not recognise lug pattern...wonder if it could be a long defunct Malaguti example.
[MENTION=357734]Condorino[/MENTION] has written that the Y pattern chainsets found on some Legnano cycles were produced by Way-Assauto. Had always mistakenly thought them to be Giostra products.
Way-Assauto sets are usually unmarked, as we have here, or marked with the name of the bicycle.
Is the I-beam stem an Ambrosio?

Thanks for the response. [MENTION=333224]juvela[/MENTION] Don't know if it's ambrosio, only marking on the stem is 55/3. I'll put a picture of it on the drive, same link
From my research on the seat cluster, it might be a Frejus or Bianchi ?

One thing noticed regarding serial number.
The last four digits if read backwards become 1958, which is a plausible year for the frame.
It's probably nothing, just a bit of idle free ranging of the "mind." ; ^ )
The 11 could refer to the month or the eleventh frame of the year.
