I am not sure if this is a good deal or not. It looks like an '87 Campione de Italia but the brakes were switched out for some low end Dia Compes
$275 for a Columbus Formula 2 frame isn't that bad a deal though https://appleton.craigslist.org/bik/...321393130.html

Nice bike, and it's in my size. Good condition too. I'm not buying any more bikes that are in need of a paint job, too much work, too much resale value lost, and there's too many other ones out there that aren't in that pitiful state.

If this is the real deal, then this seems verrry attractively priced.

This thing is a bit of a frankenbike, and I don't know about the price, but full 531 Austro Daimler. That's a rare bird in these parts.

Opinions differ. No way I'm sinking money into a DENTED over rated Paramount.

+1...it's a relatively common frame with a dent in it. Beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder. I'd offer $300 for parts, max.

Same seller, another awesome bike at a good price. Maybe get a two-for-1 deal, $1200 for both?

That color scheme is awful on that bike and really hurts value IMO.

The De Rosa - the paint looks like crap and I don't like that scheme on what I think that frame is. It makes it look like one of those 90s "retro" frames, and it's not a factory job.

Last year, maybe the year before? I don't remember. There was a DeRosa frame on ebay in Molteni Orange, Cyclart Cat ?? repaint. And I think it was 56cm. Seller had a BIN of $1600. I posted a link to it on this thread and scoffed at the price. Next day it was gone. This looks an awful lot like that frame, except the one I saw had not been built up yet.
I agree, if it's an older model DeRosa, it's going cheap.

I love that color scheme and I'm seriously considering whether or not I can justify buying that bike. The fact that it isn't a factory paint job might even ease my conscience about replacing the period correct components with what I'd want to ride.

Also, the guy is looking for cash only, local pickup only in eastern Oregon. That holds the price down a bit too.
BTW, I exchanged some e-mails with him and he says it's an estate sale and that he also has a Cinelli he's getting ready for sale. Who's up for a road trip to Hermiston?

I have a NOS FW just like that but it's a 12-21 or something so not a true corncob. Ping me if you're interested.
