This bike is, for all practical purposes, all original. Cable housing, brake hoods (with small tear), toe straps,and tires have been replaced. Otherwise it is as it came out of the box. It has been ridden but the chrome is good, the paint ok with some small touch up spots, the decals all original but faded in some places. I am asking $2300 with Fedex ground shipping in the continental U.S.A.included. Shipping out of the country etc. would be at cost. Reasonable offers considered. Please contact off list if interested. Pictures available on request.
I have another set of wheels from the same period that are built 32/42 Campy record (no record hubs) with Ambrosio clincher rims (no tires or tubes) that I would consider swaping for what is now on the bike if the buy so desires. Edward Albert, Chappaqua, NY, USA
