pretty '74 Lygie

I just finished cleaning and tuning this up. Too small for me so it will go up for sale at some point. Down tube decal is too early for this bike but the correct ones are hard to find and ugly. The painted dropouts were commonly seen on Lygie from this time period. This was probably from the last year Lygie bikes were made. Nicely made frame, cool color, full Campy NR group, Reynolds 531.

Great looking bike, love the teardrop transition from chrome to paint on the fork and stays!
