Well....
A guy bought the remaining stock of the retired Mr. Van Ghent's (sp?) framesets and was offering them on Campyonly and elsewhere for something like $400 each. I bought one when they were $70, and believe me, IMHO they aren't $400 framesets (I could have bought a bunch more, but passed them up after receiving mine - functional with lots of prep work, but very, uh, quickly made, shall we say...). Good as a back-up of a back-up, perhaps. (Hey, $70 for an NOS 531 main tube frameset that doesn't fall apart ain't entirely bad, I guess).
Cheers,
