Not outing it with the idea that anyone's gonna leap, but because I am troubled. Plenty of you folks have better info, so feel free to set me right. Also, if your eBay handle is knightdo -- please forgive the light-hearted rant that follows.

The item is 150238705205

Or see: http://ebay.com/<blah

It's a Limited, not one of the custom A frames. Like the paint, as far as that goes. The conversion to fixed doesn't help me. And I really don't figure the BIN price of $900.

"Original Tange fork with prestine (sic) chrome." Really? Albert was buying forks off-the-shelf? Say it ain't so.

"Siguno Moustache, Siguno Stem, Siguno cranks..." Each item JUST as nice as the equivalent Campanola that were stripped off to convert this to fixed gear, I'm sure.

Yes, I can spell Campagnolo.
