I needed new wider rail mounts, and found a lightly used B17 all under $100, so I'm happy. I realise the Campy branded narrow rails have some collector value (saw one for $800 someplace), but I'd rather ride new than rebuild mine. It came new on my Legnano, 53 years ago, so I guess I got my use out of it!
