Subject: [CR] Barn find Legnano


Hello List.

Fairly new so please forgive me if this info is readily available. I would like to find out if my "find" is a completely original bike.

Picked up a Legnano "Roma" (late sixties i think?). The rear NR derailleur is marked patent but no year....so what year is it? I would like to know if the derailleur is original to the rest of the bike.

The rims do not match but are built with high flange campy hubs. To get things to match and be period correct what brand of rims would be the right vintage to go with the rest of this bike? Rear is Fiamme and the front Nisi moncalieri.

Also, the freewheel is regina g.s. course. Would that freewheel be time period correct.

Most other parts are campy, stamped Legnano stem, I.T.T bars.

Thanks to those experts that can share their knowledge.
