Legnano Olimpiade Record Chromed Road Bike 1971

Champions such as Binda, Bartali, Coppi and Fondriest rode to their victories on Legnano bicycles. Fifteen Giro d'Italia, seven world championships and two Tour de France triumphs were achieved by Legnano riders. That is enough to enumerate Legnano amongst the most winning and prestigious brands of all time.

Founded in Milano, Legnano started manufacturing high-end racing bicycles around the 1920s under the lead of Emilio Bozzi - also owner of Frejus. The brand was subsequently sold to Bianchi before being acquired again by the Bozzi family.

Legnano racing bicycles are easily recognizable for their typical classic design, which actually is now virtued an integral iconic part of classic cycling for collectors around the globe. Their bikes were often painted in a luminous green.

This Legnano Olimpiade Record is not green-coloured, yet it impeccably shows the charme of this Italian brand.
Released in the late 1960s, the Olimpiade Record became the brand's top model, and shared many details with its predecessor the Legnano Olimpiade Roma, like the special seat post clamping for example.

Like its name suggests, the bike is equipped with a Campagnolo Record groupset - likely the most legendary parts in cycling history.
Instead of a paintjob, the bike received a full chroming! Not only is it unbelievably shiny, it is also well protected against scratches and rust.
