Yup that's about it, purely cosmetic but I'm in no rush to drop a ton of money on them, they pop up on eBay for $20-35 every so often but for the past few months there haven't been any that aren't crazy expensive. If anything I'll get Rb021s but it's not the sameee. I'm pretty much content with my risers for now though

You sound like you know what you want so this is not meant to dissuade you in any way, but while we're on topic, the RB021 is the most uncomfortable handlebar to ever sit atop any of my bikes! Switched to an RB002 (after much experimentation in between) and couldn't be happier.

If he won't, send me the money to buy and ship them, and I will. I work in shipping, and get cheaper rates for stuff than the general public.

Can someone explain to me the pricing of this 3Rensho?
1992 3RENSHO 56 cm Track Frameset NJS Stamped Blue Sparkle | eBay
They're asking almost 3K for a bike with scratched up paint, multiple chips, rust spots, etc..
I could possibly expect that price if they found a brand new NOS frame in the back of some shop...but this is just your run of the mill condition used track bike.
Go on NJS-Export and you'll find 3Rensho's in the same condition going for a 1/3rd of that price.

$profit$ is the answer; he flips them and has a buyer in Japan buying them for him on the cheap from keirin swaps
It's only worth what somebody is willing to pay for it.

it'd be cool if this thread worked out more how @thedapperest was able to use it just now. people post things they might be looking for and those of us who scour CL for stuff when we are bored can help them out if we find something locally. The fact that we almost have a built in friendly shipping system, as @AndjaVXC just offered, is even cooler.
We have active members all along the west coast, east coast, and in many major cities in the midwest, I for one just think it'd be cool to have a thread that can help people find parts and frames via CL across the nation. might help some of us sell some stuff as well.

For example, a search for "trek district carbon site:craigslist.org" will yield...

Frame is just meh, but this is still a bargain (and a sweet, simple build for the money), IMO.

That exact Bianchi Pista frameset came up on eBay last month. No dents, but a little rusted and needed a respray. I emailed the owner for more complete specs as I couldn't find anything on it other than ""early 90's."
He was of little help, listing ended unsold. I was already shopping for columbus Cromor and Bianchi decals; he was asking $450 shipped, frameset only.
