$1300? That seems outrageous. Is it really that collectible/desirable?

I love the paint so much.

I'm no Campy expert, but isn't that group a little old to be on that frame? Looks weird.



Definitely high, IMO. That's a fairly normal price for an older one that's in cherry condition with all original parts, though.

For once i’m ahead in the club. :innocent:

So every ride I am getting brake rub on the front rotor. I usually stop loosen the wheel and re tighten the wheel and it magically goes away, until I need to use the front brake again. When looking at my pads and rotor head on, the rotor is extremely close to the outside pad. What do I need to do about this?

You people corrupted me. I should have stayed over in C&V :mad:

Yeah, a little bit at a time spreads the pain out, but overall the price tends to be higher on a piecemeal build. Kind of annoying when the end value is less than the sum of the parts, but I suppose that's (literally) the price you pay for getting exactly what you want.

Most any modern complete would be pretty agreeable to me. I'm a bit picky about aesthetics but so long as the shifters have under-tape routing and the crank isn't hideous most modern bikes are pretty sweet. My two requirements for frame aesthetics are that the downtube is the same cross-section the entire length and if it's a metal frame the welds need to either be very small or filled and blended à-la Cannondale.

I think the addictive quality is from the variety of inclusions so you want the marshmallow, then the fudge fish, then some caramel, and soon you’ve hit the bottom.

I mean, you’re wrong about “not the best”, but that’s ok.
