Dang, I wish this bike would've been my size. Somebody stole it IMHO!! Crazy things on E-bay lately. A pair of MA2's for over $500 but a one owner, mostly original Cinelli for less than $1600?? Anybody see the Gios panto shifters that went for $504? A Colnag seat post for $300. But an original paint '70's Pogliaghi that didn't hit $800?? Parts is hot but bikes is not. Here is the Cinelli link:

I don't get it.

The Cinelli was my size so I did buy it. There look to be some rust issues but it didn't break the opening bid of $1000 until 1 hour before auction end. Actually though, this Colnago may have been a better deal:

It's definitely not a 1972 but maybe 1975/76. It has some odd components and no Panto but the paint looked awesome.

I didn't see the sub-$800 Pog.

Any comments?
