Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Help on identification and age

I recently purchased a Legnano which I understood to be late 70s. I found a sticker on it indicating made of ORIA tubing GM 0.0 grade. Also the forks have LEGNANO stamped in each side of the top of the crown.
Can any one shed light on the model and improve on the manufacturing date.
I feel that the bike may be later, say mid 80s.
I have now dismantled the bike ready for plating and painting.

Try the Classic & Vintage forum. Lots of old timers there that might know.
