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!
