When I first saw this auction on ebay, I thought I might be able to get myself a great deal on the Colnago pantographed parts that I needed for one of the Colnago frames that I have. Apparently others had the same idea as the price has gone up quite a bit, still not bad if you look at the value of these parts on their own:
This does however confirm what Gabriel Romeu and I were discussing earlier today, that back in the day, one would often buy a new frame and simply switch over parts to the new frame. It looks in this case that the owner previously had a Colnago and then bought himself one of the Austrian RIH frames.
