Legnano Specialized
Hi,
I just bought a Legnano bike, but I'm not sure, what I have here. Can you please help me identify this Bike? http://lh3.ggpht.com/_2ZMJKprXfQE/S7...pecialized.jpg Frame - Legnano Specialised, 20 Pedals - Nekvar Shifter - Patent Campagnolo, Vicenza, Italy, Sachs Thanks Milan |
It looks like ho-hum parts on a high prestige marquee. I have never seen an entry level Legnano before.
It looks like it has sew-ups! What does the tubing sticker say? The braze on brake cable stops indicate an entry or mid level frame. Closeup pictures would help. |
I do not know the actual model name, but it is an entry level model below the Gran Primeo (which was their mid-level). I think that style downtube graphic would put it into the 70's. It changed from the more "hotdog" shaped stencil in the late 60's.

the choice of rear derailleur is odd, the drop out seems to have a hanger, yet the style of derailleur with a claw arm. its a nice pick up though!

SP Bend, OR ps - say what you want about cheap French stuff (like that RD), but it's MILES better than the Campy Valentino that it replaced. |
Thank you all for your replies. I can't have better pictures at the moment, because I bought it online and It will be delivered next week. I bought it from a 80 years old man who bought it five years ago in a garage sale in Czech Republic so he doesn't know much about it's history. Hopefully, after a few touch ups it will be perfect commuting bike for me. I'll post more pictures as soon as I have them.

I'd be willing to bet that that particular "repair" was done by someone who didn't know what the eff they were doing. There's a good chance that the Huret RD wouldn't be a "plug and play" fit on the dropout hanger, but it'd be a piece o' cake to fix that (he said from experience).
