isn't this at the core of some of the problems facing the classic bicycle community; that so much of what was once common and necessary, and today so sought after in spite of the legwork involved and/or the costs assigned to the 'rarity' assigned... so much of these old parts are <still> available: frame parts, nos campagnolo stuff, maybe even binda toestraps too...but it's all hidden away and taken out of the mainstream. like dale, i too have stashes, and multiples of stashes... some are piled onto other stashes.
there really is no shortage at all. the only difference is that the method of inventory has changed. e-RICHIE chester, ct **************************************** snipped: OROBOYZ@aol.com writes: "I can't say about Italy, but for a 10% fee I could come up with that stuff this afternoon...

Not that they are "rare" but I think it's fair to say that coming up with 60 sets could be "difficult".
