A few years ago I got an intact, really low mileage 1970 something Italvega.
   It was dusty, a little grimy, with flat tires, but it was full Nuovo Record and the parts were original. The lack of wear indicated how little the bike had been used. How nice all the parts were. I could have scored alot for the parts on Ebay but hated to break up such an original bike. I sold it to a list member for a very reasonable price. He thanked me profusely, and I thought it was the "proper" thing to do. However, if I needed to feed my family with the money, I would have parted out that baby in a heart beat.
