I have one of these, and the story about it is here (maybe the google advice
speedbicycles was advising):

The title of that story may be misleading; I still have the bike, I just hadn't brought it along to Italy with me at the time.
I know of three of these bikes, one of which belongs to another list member and the 3rd belongs to the person that had the 1976 catalog I mentioned in my story. You can see the S.C. Leggerissimo listed in the first catalog page (you can click on the photos to enlarge).
It is interesting the SC Leggerissimo decal, the first one I have seen.
BTW, my bike was setup for TTs with a single chainring. Also, as you would find in the archives, the bike has many of the Campy bolts, nuts, replicated perfectly in Ti.
