I am with you Dale,it seems as though with time it became less and less expensive.Plus in the day you could actually buy parts for it.What a deal! My 2 cents, Harris Spracher Waynesboro,Va.

<< Ted, I beg to differ. Campagnolo Nuovo/Super Record was extremely inexpensive when bought new. In more than 20 years of ownership, I have never had to replace a major component, and a custom frame with full kit was $1500 or so. Given the cost per year, I'd call that a bargain. Campagnolo is never CHEAP, but that's different. >>

I guess time passes and perspectives change but I can tell you it sure seemed like a helluva a lot of money to us lower middle class folks back then. "Extremely inexpensive" is not an accurate description of how the folks felt who I knew & hung with back then. "Damned expensive but worth it" it more like it.
