Hi,
I know the environment leaves a little to be desired, and there
are no detail shots, I just wanted to get this bike up on the site
because it so deserves to be... I will post more interesting shots
with details and more interesting enviros at a later date. The bay
area is where I live... so some nice shots will be forthcoming.
This is a 1962 Legnano Gran Premio that has been recently restored
and set up as a single speed commuter bike. I had to have the seat
post nut machined (thank you Bernie Mikkelsen), those of you with
these early Legnano's know what I am talking about...
The
gearing is 48/19 which seems to be just about right... this is my
first fixie, and I love riding this bike - my other bike is Rivendell
Bleriot, which for comfort can't be beat... But riding this is so
much more fun (sorry Grant).
That's
it for now, thanks for the great site!
