My first ebay purhase was a NOS Teladyne Titan for $700 and change. The pictures were lousy - it had a partial Campy grupo installed on it. When it arrived the crankset appeared to be new with raised bosses around the pedal holes. I posted to the CR list asking what I had and I received excellent guidance as well as an offer to buy the cranks for $125 (you know who you are). I looked through a baggy of little parts that came with the frame and lo and behold there were the little covers for the back of the pedal holes. I posted these first generation NR cranks on Campy Only and ended up selling them for $1200 to a Japanese collector. The sale of the cranks financed a NOS SR grupo and a blue suede Turbo saddle. I think of my Titan as my "free" bike. Rodney Handsfield, Wichita - calm 68 degrees before the storm
