Heck -- $20 got me this, at a yard sale, but that was ca. 2000 pricing.
It originally had an ugly dull red paint job, no fancy white head tube, no downtube decals, but it was in working order, with the OEM Weinmann brakes and a nice Nervar Star Crankset, which I put back on after the Campag. cracked. Front Campag. Gran Sport pushrod derailleur was worn out, but my newer replacement was another cheap yard sale find. Be flexible and keep looking. Happy hunting! The thrill of the chase is half the fun.
1973 Brooks Pro on the 1959 Capo. Still serviceable, plan to put on a different bike. Campag. crankset shown
