Well!.......................Hey guys I hate to spoil the party but I have a Regina chain, ORO type with gold color outer plates! Not only does it have holes in the outer plates but also the........''INNER PLATEs!'' as well!........This...do...be...for...sure...reals! OK!...............So where do we go from here!........AND NO!........I'm not on ACID! As one former list member would think!
So what do I have??.........It does read Regina and it came off of a Shop worn ''NOS!'' depleted Legnano which was stripped for its ''CAMPAGNOLO!'' parts. AND NO IT WAS NOT I WHO DID THE BUTCHER JOB ON THIS POOR BIKE!
Such a pitty to see these bikes ending up this way! It looks like the Legnano Grave yard! In one way it's a pretty sad sight to see these things laying around like rejects and left overs. But then again for the type of business it was a welcome sight. At first I said ''OH WOW!'' look at this! But soon after the feeling sad part came into play and it was back to work. Which ones to save for now and which ones will hold over for the next trip..............So to say we took a few of the scrappy ones first and the better ones for a return visit. Reason for doing this, we didn't want the sellers to feel like we are only after the good stuff. Soon after we were invited for a round of Goose and fresh French bread with lots of cheap wine and ''TONs!'' of fresh picked veggies...............The dog Bruno kept us busy under the table eating up the scraps! Soon after they pulled several more from somewhere else! So these and the others are for the next round. Later on this coming summer, it's a ''ROAD TRIPS!'' rescue mission to save what's left of these bikes!
If needed I can provide some pix of this chain...................And sorry it's not for sale.
