Just to clarify... that blue Legnano "Gran Premio" is early 60s (I think the hubs were dated 1961). The Vittoria changer is from about 1947, the gum hoods are 1940s, and the hubs are mid 1950s. That's the only bike I had which would accept the Vittoria Margherita mech. It's a 60s bike with some fun bits installed.
I didn't mean to mislead anyone... sorry.
There's a real 1940s Legnano, nicely restored, on the Vintage Velos website.
