Romic

The lugs are gorgeous. It looks as if the rust is surface. The Mavic rims are laced to Camp.

Is it worth $300?...

Exactly!

The nails are what caught my attention. At what point does someone look at a bike like this and decide it needs nails? That was the most concerning thing.

I had thought so too. I decided to pass. A Buenes Aires with 853 and Ultegra came up for close to the same price. It looks as if it has led a simpler, safer life.

Osso

I am embarrassed to say that I didn't ask. The frame looked to be around a 50/52--far too small. It was battered and missing cables. I am curious though--I have not heard of the brand.
