Greg is totally right and this bike is quite important. I'll take e-richie's word it's the real deal, but some real documentation would be nice. I've got to say I was sad to see it was restored since from the description the bike didn't seem beat or abused. The only Italian bikes I have a soft spot for are Bianchi's, but thankfully I ride a smaller frame. Does anyone know for sure if someone picked the bike up or if it'll be re-listed?
enjoy,
