Condorino, my go-to source for all things Legnano, says "Of the two road bikes that Legnano exported to North America, the 'Gran Premio' was the most popular and most affordable. The Gran Premio lacked the Campagnolo Record Crankset and a bit of the finishing of their top-of-the-line 'Roma Olimpiade' but otherwise the two bikes were very much alike."
My original paint Gran Premio is pretty much as found, including the mudguards. I added the Legnano bell, and my friend Dick Bodell made the twin water bottle cage.
