Just a reminder that the blue Legnano on the CR website is, in fact, an early-1960s Gran Premio originally equipped with Gran Sport derailleurs - I merely used it as a test rig that year for the late-1940s Vittoria shifter.
I have about 140 pictures of Legnano bikes and peripherals, arranged by approximate year, on the wooljersey site:

Many captions are only partial, and many of the dates are guesses. Corrections are invited. I have about 75 more pictures to add... I'll let you know when the updates are completed.
