I am trying to place/price a Legnano frame which is presently being "wasted" as a conversation piece in my home. A few things re: the drop outs read: Brev Campagnolo and the Cinelli Bottom Bracker reads: brev 22829b-84. It is a frame which was produced shortly after Bianchi acquired the naming rights of Legnano, there is a copper tube which runs inside the top tube for cables, and the frame is obvious Reparto Corse. I have been told that the Bianchi model of the same style is the TSX/UL, though am unsure if the frames are "indentical" (i.e. did the TSX/UL have the copper tube in the top tube?), what distinguished the two frames? The Legnano frame I own was purchased at a Bianchi warehouse where it was being used as a sizing frame by grant handley (i may have the spelling of the last name incorrect, he operated a cycle shop in san francisco) and american cyclery once appraised the frame at $800 (the price offered to the former owner, not the price AC would sell said frame for). Anyway, I am considering putting the frame up for sale as it is a bit too large (61) for me. Thank you.
