Legnano Specialissima
Picked up this Legnano frame-set this morning and am wondering about its provenance. No serial # anywhere. Probably mid to late 80s given the shifter mounts and water bottle braze ons? That seems kinda late for that mfg. Appreciate any ideas.

Those are about the most elegant chainstay indentations I've ever seen. Good luck with that dropout adjuster screw.
Was the frame repainted? Finish is in rough condition, but threads and dropouts look very clean.

Thanks, Charles. Not sure on the repaint or not though the decals are a bit dodgy. I'm wondering if it's an actual Legnano!

Built up the little Legnano as a commuter for a short-ish colleague. Still might be too big for her.

Vintage Velo Berlin dates theirs (which is a close call, but not a 100% match to yours) to mid 70's.

What's the bb threading? I don't see a Legnano there.
