OK its my turn:
$4000.00 Hmmm. Everytime I see one of these beauties sell for this much it just tell me how smart I am in collecting these frames. Thats as opposed to the stock market I always lose my shirt everytime . That Masi was beautiful and the 5oth Gruppo added the ultra chic to it. To me in a way the 5oth is one of Campy prettiest productions. As for Van de Velde comment about riding on these babies down PCH you wouldn't believe how many people just drool! and it dosen't matter wether it is a GC or 3V. They are a great investment no matter what year they were made, wether they are from Milano or San Marcos or Carlsbad. At the end of the day our little CR thing is sometimes a little to ... well you know. On the outside looking in the masses just love what we ride, I always get looks and questions.
In the meantime ride like hell because Thanksgiving is opon us. It just gives us more days to ride to work off that turkey. My apologies to my brethern in the cold North...hit your spinners.
Have a happy one!
