$20 Legnano...
I am a Legnano fan and my only for sure keeper is my long owned 1968 Gran Premio...
https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...bb9353e3c5.jpg However, today I scored Legnano GP #3 and for the price of a CND six pack... https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...fac80a1ccb.jpg It should buff up nicely!-( https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...df974279d5.jpg Not really. I bought it for the brakes, head badge, bars and seat post bolt. That little harvest, to me, is worth twenty bucks and then some... https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...ab22b861cb.jpg There appears to be something pantographed into the bars. Anxious to see more when I get to disassembly... https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...b67fc1f374.jpg |
Components make it a win. Is that fork bent weirdly? I know it is a cliche meme on here to ask but it actually looks a bit noodley

Those look like early T.T.T. (Tecno Tubo Torino) handlebars, before they officially became 3TTT.

-----
the 3TTT Tourist stem & bar set brings it into the mid-1960's if it were fifties or very early sixties it would have been fitted with Ambrosio since both round things are replacements there will be no useful date there serial can be checked at Mark's site if you do a part out the Bates style fork may have some value ----- |
Taking a closer look, this looks lower than a Gran Premio. It has stamped dropouts while the Gran Premio typically had Campagnolo forged dropouts at the rear. I believe this may be a Mezza Corsa.

Wait, a six-pack in Canada costs $20?

Bud Light, ,my choice, $16 plus tax and my favorite, Rickards $18.50. So, no, not twenty but close enough when I pay for gasoline ($2.12 per liter or $6.50 per gallon) to make the thirty mile round trip to buy my Buds. |

Now that hockey season is over, beer deflation. But I hear next week, when summer ends, hockey season starts again. |

Randy lives in Ontario. Beer in Quebec is cheaper and easier to find in your local depanneur which will be just down the street

I love how this thread went from the joy of a $20 Legnano to the price of beer in Canada. 🤣🤣
Keep us posted on the progress and I may (ahem!!) be interested in some of the not wanted. (Help a fellow Leggie brother out!) |
Looks like it has the rear brake cable stop/release. That alone is worth the $50 entry fee.

I'm restoring a mid 60's Legnano Gran Primo to Italian city bike configuration, and live in Vancouver BC. I'd be interested in the wheels if they are original - PM me if you want to sell/trade. Good catch BTW, especially for the price of 6 Sleemans.

Hey, wait a minute. Where's the rear derailleator? 🤔😁 Glad you got it, Randy. 👍 I was worried you might jinx yourself, talking about it in another thread, lol. 😉

Top and down tube look wonky too. Could be the pic, but a straight edge would solve the question.

Anyway, the Legnano Bendino is leaning against the wood pile, in my back yard. Will have a closer look at it tomorrow after my round of splitting and piling firewood. Looking forward to harvesting the good stuff and then the damaged frame/fork is dump bound. |
