I am curious as to the authenticity of this bike. It is branded as a Legnano but the same seller had a Ciocc with the exact same frame details (chrome fork with flat un-lugged crown, "fastback" type seat stays) Is someone producing generic frames then branding them as high end Italian stuff? He also had a Cinelli "Super Corsa" that had gold plating on the typical chrome areas but it did not have Cinelli's seatstay cluster. At least that one had Cinelli pantographing all over it so it wasn't the same frame as this one.

Any ideas? Are these just 1990's frames made by the real makers?
