Italian equivalent of Craigslist to find vintage bikes

So I will be spending 2 months in Italy (Florence/Tuscany region mostly) and would like to buy/ride a fine vintage racing steed while I'm there. I could use your advice on where to search for this.

Anyone here using GRX with a 46t cassette?

I'd like to change my bike over from Rival 1 to GRX 1x (I prefer shimano braking and shifting), but I'm concerned that the shifting on the 9-46 cassette will be really rough.

I've read many...

I’ve never used any strong solvent like that to clean off my bike - always just some dish soap and elbow grease. Good to know though!

Thanks all! That would make sense, as this bike has spent almost its entire life on the California coast.

I'll give it a scrub and monitor it. I'll update the thread if something changes...

Thank you dddd ! I added the photos above, is that consistent with what you're describing?

Maybe the answer is obvious, but does delaminating mean I should replace them?

Finished the 10,000 ft climb up Haleakala (and the subsequent descent). Not sure if I would consider it most enjoyable, but definitely one to remember!

The Specialized Roval Terra are really great at $1,100. Esp. if you can convince the shop that you bought the bike from to give you a small discount for upgrading!

Definitely depends on what you're riding on, but I've found that in any case, I've never regretted going wider. More cush going up, and more grip going down.

Anyone seen these "cracks" on a campy chainring?

I have a 9-speed record group and on the chainring, where it attaches to the spider, there are long cracks on the inside facing edges of the "cut out" area. So where there's the cut-out triangle,...

To me, these bikes with high trail numbers make more sense when you can fit these big tires, since they give you the traction to run over more things.

IMHO, a 45mm tire isn't big enough to...
