Those two frames look nothing alike. The only part they share is the brake bridge. The fastback is executed differently, and use a different fork crown. They may be counterfeit, but I doubt they are modern frames. Eric Keller Boalsburg, PA

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.
