Last night I posted my Roma Sport for sale. by this evening, I had been contacted by 15 people who wanted pix, and I think 6 made offers. So, I'm whining that I must have priced it way too low, but the winner - first to offer - is a long-time CR colleague and friend. I'm happy it will have a home with more room and flatter countryside to ride in.

original post: For Sale, Roma Sport "Path Racer." It's Italian through-and-through, but has some of the hybrid spirit of the old British Path Racers. Very comfortable track bike, except that she has oval fork blades.
56 cm x 56cm (ctc). Wonderful looped, scalloped lugs, with amazingly patina'd candy apple red finish - and a spare pair of new down-tube decals! good candidate for a long life after powder-coating.
Serial #67881 suggests 1967 manufacture, but it came to me with really nice FB High flange hubs, very light sew-up rims, top-line Magistroni cottered cranks, and lovely Ambrosio steel stem with Ambrosio aluminum bars (I got the cranks and stem rechromed). These parts suggest something much older. Asking $300 plus actual shipping cost, my superb packing is free.
Pictures available, of course, but I haven't set up a web site. So, you have to ask and I have to email them.
