  2. Hi Steven Miller , Fred or Scot:

    Dear Owners of Legnano, i would appreciate if u can email me the pictures of your bike that you are keen to let go and the price too.

    Cheers-ed

    I am now riding a legnano too.

  5. i ride a legnano every day and it’s awesome, it must have like 40 years and it works perfectly, even the gears pass really smothly

  7. hola gente , estoy restaurando una bicicleta legnano de mi abuelo la cual gano muchos campeonatos aca en argentina en el año 1945, tenia llantas de madera , y el numero de cuadro es sb2590. le cuadro es muy lindo y muy liviano , cualquier deto del modelo o año de fabricacion me sirven ya que estoy armando un albun con las carreras de mi abuelo y su bicicleta legnano, desde ya muchas gracias , saludos, desde rosario argentina.

  9. Back in the late fifty’s I delivered papers while I was in high school and college. In an appartment house on my paper route was bicycle that always sat on the stair landing. One day I asked the lady who lived up stairs who owned the bicycle. She replied that her son had bought it while he was at the Vatitan. About six months later she said that she could sell it if I wanted it. It was real different than any American bike I had seen, but what the heck it looked new and I made asbout a dollar a day on the papers so I paid her $20.

    After College I went to pilot training then six years in the Air Force. Then I went to work for Exxon and this bike followed me arround for fourty years. I even came home early one Saturday afternoon to find in the non-sold pile after one of my wife’s garage sales.

    I kept it in the garage, mainly because thirty years ago I was getting some new tires and the shop owner said it was a vary unique bike a real collector’s bike.

    Last week I looked on Craigslist under Items Wanted and “looking for old bikes” was listed. Sunday I got a call from some guy who was looking for an old ten speed bike. When I got it out and he started looking at it, mentioning the metal warrior on the front frame and the Campagnolo brakes and changer. He said he had heard about the Chartruse yellow paint job. Well a long story short fron Rome to Lexington, KY to Summerville,SC I sole my Bike. I was glad that a real bike enthasusist got it because I knew it was a great bike even back in the fifty’s.

    He started mentioning that he could put it back in shape with new stickers and such I knew it had a good home.

  10. I have a Legnano cycle that is very original and has an unusual frame. It is very well made. I think it was a urban rental bike. I have never seen anything like this before.

    I was just learning more about the maker. These bikes look good and have good history. I collect old cycles.

    I don’t know how to send a picture.

  11. …have a ’60’s (?!?) Legnano w/all chrome frame + Brooks seat with a ‘setback’ race stem
    am just in love with the way she ‘looks’ – just setting there wanting to be ridden
    am not capable – anymore of riding –
    anyone interested?!?

  12. Steven- Value depends on equipment and condition. Maybe $1-200. Ed- I hope you diid OK. A 1959 Roma with a vary early Campy Record set could sell for $2500 or more.

  14. I have a Legnano 10 speed, levers down low,sew on tires,light racing style, green,purchased new in 1970. It is in good shape,not ridden much. Anyone interested or does anyone know what the value might be. I would like to sell it. A local bike shop had no interest in it.
    Thanks,
    Steve Miller

  19. My Mum still rides a Viking “Hosteller”, and has done since she bought it new back in 1963! This is the first time I’ve ever seen someone else even mention one to be honest…

  20. Didn’t Viking have a Viking on their badge? Can’t remember if he was sword lofting but he’d have been fierce :0)
    I had a Viking Hosteller in the ’70’s. I’m sitting here now waiting for my new Paul Hewitt frame to be delivered. Very excited!
