Hi all,

Just checking on value of this Casati. I never actually heard of Casati before I saw this listed, but I saw the Columbus decal and pantographing and became intrigued. It looks like they were handmade by a shop with limited production. I’m guessing that this was bought as a frameset and built-up with Shimano 105 groupset and Mavic wheels. So, I contacted the seller and asked for more photos, then I saw the rust on the toptube bubbling up from below the paint. Is this from internal tube rusting through, or is this just surficial rusting from being used as a trainer? More importantly, how does this affect value?

Any more ore info and approximate value would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
