    New/old stock, I guess she and her sisters spent much of the cold war in a warehouse. She came to us unassembled on the slow boat. So slow that we couldn't leave feedback for the seller. My husband has had fun putting her together, and she rides like a dream...like a dream from the mid-70s, remember that dream? The lights work and everything!

    Hey thanks everyone! This bike has been and continues to be an adventure.

    Since the brand is Legnano, I think her name is Nani or now that I'm seeing it in print, perhaps: gNani.

    My dreams from the mid-70's involved banana seats. But I got over that.

    What a gorgeous bike!!!
