The original freewheel was in excellent condition so it got a thorough service and was reinstalled.

I then installed the brake cables and housings. While most Legnanos you'll see have red or lizard green cable housings, I chose to use white, since this is the color used on Legnano ads from the early 70s.





Add the seatpost, saddle, and shifter cables and it's almost done.
You need a plunger stand like they have.
