I have added three more bikes for sale on ebay last night.

There are 2 Raulers, one big one at 60.5 cm C/C and a small one at 50 cm C/C. For those that are not familiar with the Rauler brand, it should be pointed out that Rauler was one of the subcontractors to Colnago. In fact teh name Rauler is a contraction of the names of the two founders of the company: RAUL and ERnesto. As Mark Poore will undoubtedly point out, being as he is one of the resident Rauler experts on the CR list, They were also responsible for many very special and trick Colnago frames. Ernesto has furthermore told me that Rauler also handled much of the pantographing for Colnago. Unfortunately, by the time I asked the new owner of the Rauler shop in Reggio Emilia if he had any left-over pantographed componentry, he said that it had all been pitched into the skip. He was only able to come up with one set of Colnago Mexico cranks, with panto'ed ring and massaged crank profile. I was however able to pick up the two Rauler bikes now offered on ebay.

There is one for the larger riders (60.5 cm C/C frame) http://ebay.com/<blah> has hardly been ridden. It has scratches to the paint in the seat tube and the left chainstay but otherwise is in very good shape.

The there is a smaller one (50 cm C/C) that would make for a perfect ride for your better half. http://ebay.com/<blah> my non-cycling neighbors come to look whenever I get new bikes in and of all the bikes that arrived with my latest shipment, this one and the Alberti are the ones that attracted the most attention. The baby blue appealed equally to the men and women. It has fancy internal cable routing of rear brake and gear cables.

The third bike is Masi Prestige which is a 51.5 cm if you use Masi measurements or 50.5 cm C/C. http://ebay.com/<blah>
