GBP 500.00 (Approximately US $954.38)
Nice bike but over a grand by the time you get it to your door?
Oh, I don't know Pete... that's a pretty fair price for a 1948 RRA with a decent restoration and a lot of the rare RRA spec components. That's a lot less than what a '70s Cinelli Speciale Corsa fetches and they are a lot more common. As to which is a better bike, I happily can't say as I own and ride both quite contentedly!
