it's very similar to URW Legothic (bold) with the exception of the letter "e", plus maybe slightly condensed.
If you search for variations of Legothic you might find an exact matching font (or not) that was modified by some other typehouse to get around the copyright

It's not an existing structured typeface. It was handmade by someone with a pen and paper and not an actual digital "font." That would have to be recreated as vector art by hand, which is not difficult, just time consuming unless you are a professional. If I have some time in my schedule this afternoon, I could recreate that for you as vector art (EPS) pretty easily.

Ok, I lied... I did it during lunch.
PM me your email address and I'll send you the Illustrator EPS file. It's not letting me attach a ZIP files here on the forum.

Gus did a great job with my Rabeneick decal set. Great quality and easy to use...

For the question i aked above is regarding a file with the decals already inside it ready to be printed (dirt-cheap 'n fast).
The bike is a roadbike, equipped with legnano crank, itm stem and handlebars, campy pedals, balilla brakes and universal calipers and a friggin super record (4001 PAT.80), wheels fiamme and record front derailleur.
Probably the owner changed some parts to make more cooler and then he stop using the bike until is nephew used for going to the beach. Then the bike has been left outside on the weather, now the nephew the currently owner has decided to make a restoration. I already founf the correct paint color and slowly i'm removin ght rusty and the old paint.
Probably i'll make a new tread for all the updates (im recording bits too).

For the record, I didn't find any alternate versions of URW Legothic out there, but the actual typeface is only $20 at most online type houses. Probably worth the investment instead of my hand-traced Illustrator file.

Sometimes when the job do not require a lot of time i can make stencils from painter's paper tape and a box cutter. It's funny and well repayed with satisfation but in this case i don't want to spend too much time.
