Thanks folks, I think I'm going to run with a set and see how they go.

Looking for new wheels for a Legnano restoration. Want to stay 27 inch to keep costs down as I have tan wall tyres and new brakes bought. Anyone got any experience with these eBay wheels, Quando hubs on Weinmann rims...

Hi, I'm looking to finish by 80's Legnano restoration and I need some 27 x 1 1/4 tyres. I'd like gum wall retro look tyres but the only ones I can see are Michelin World Tour tyres but these seem a bit knobbly like hybrid tyres. Can anyone recommend something a little slicker at a decent price...

Hi, I'm looking for a 70's/80's Ofmega chainring in 52t with a 144mm BCD. It's for my Legnano that I'm doing up. I have the legnano branded crank arms and the 42t chainring so I need the 52t and some chainring bolts and spacers.

Re: Thanks Don, Yeah the paint and pinstriping looks cool so I'm thinking I might try to clean up the rust spots and preserve what I have. I'll just have to stay in saddle climbing. :oops: :mrgreen:

Well that didn't exactly set the world alight... I've done lots of googling and there seems to be very little info on the 70's & 80's Legnano's. I think these frames were made by Bianchi. I have a few questions. If I'm buying wheels, will modern 700c wheels fit if I can get the brakes to...

Hi, I've just done a deal on an 80's Legnano racer. Well I think it's 80's anyway. It seems to come with everything bar the wheels. The seller has the chainrings and campagnolo front and rear mechs. I haven't picked the bike up from the seller yet but from the pics it looks fairly good. There is...
