Legnano! I'd never heard of them until L'Eroica when I was lent one.
I sat next to an Italian at dinner, no shared language between us, but we persevered. He told me, through hand signals and the odd word, that Colnago (which he rode) was like Ferrari, while Legnano (which I rode) was only Maseratti.
Lovely bloke. We had a whole conversation by drawing diagrams on the tablecloth with biro.
And the Legnano was great fun.
