I used to have a Legnano - beautiful bike! That's not why I'm posting though. I picked up a bike this week, and whilst it's clearly a Pearson, I was wondering if anyone knew who the framebuilder was:
Some research suggests that Dave Yates used to make Pearson frames, but this doesn't look like one of his - the rear seatstays and internal cable routing don't look like his sort of thing:
The only frame number is '56'
Finally, does anyone know what tubing it's made of? It's very lightweight, and has a 27.2mm seatpost.
The brakes and chainset are salt corroded but useable, but apart from that, we're ready to go! I'd forgotten how lovely decent friction downtube shifters are from a simplicity perspective.
