Need help finding Legnano seatpost bolt
Hi there! I'm new to this blog. I'm working on restoring (or refreshing?) a 1954-55 Legnano Mod.44 Sportivo Uomo. I've been trying to find a very rare seat post bolt with no success.
Somebody long time ago found one here, and I would really appreciate the help from community finding it.
I can't add pictures (until I have 10 posts in this blog), but a good detail of this bolt is in the 1952 Legnano Catalog page 5.
And if you google "VINTAGE RARE LEGNANO STYLE SEATPOST BINDER BOLT CHROMED STEEL" is the first image that shows up. It works like a bolt with two wedges that squeeze the seat post.
Again, any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Jim also sells on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/sch/m.html?_ssn=portlandjim. I don't see any Legnano bolts there at the moment, but I'm sure he's done them before. Most of what you see listed there he creates in his shop.

Thank you. That is actually a different type of bolt, I believe that one goes in the Roma Olimpiade, but I have high hopes looking at his page and the stuff he makes.

That's exactly the one I'm looking for! the one indicated as "Bullone reggisella Legnano a blocchetti pieni, cromato". First from left to right under the seat post tube. I'll sharpen up my italian and'll try contacting them. Thank you.
I'll report back to you all once I have the piece in hand and will share the (hopefully successful) story.

you mean you hadn't found my 2016 comment on the Condorino page?
https://condorino.com/2013/11/12/the...ent-suppliers/
(scroll down)
That site has an amazing amount of information for Legnano owners.

and its build story
