This one owner Italian Job was purchased new in 1974 for $425 from Velocipede Peddler in East Lansing, MI. Research reveals that this Legnano Italian road racing bicycle was probably built in Italy in 1972; the last year Legnano used Universal Model 61 brakes was 1972. Apparently, it was exported to a shop in Chicago before being sent to East Lansing. But for Nixon's serendipitous 1974 wage & price freeze, I would have bought a Schwinn Paramount. I've NEVER regretted this purchase, but it's time for a younger person to enjoy this bike. As the photos depict, Legnano welded the frame from British Reynolds 531 steel tubing. The lugged (several chromed) frame has chromed Campagnolo (Campy) dropouts. Most of the components are Campy. The original tubular (sew-up) rims and tires were replaced by clincher rims and tires shown. Included are a Zefal (French) aluminum hand pump, chain breaker and Legnano decal.
