I'm also pleased its not my size too!........a very nice looking bike, in my favorite colour [must get on with the restoration of my Specialissimo]

The front axle does look a little on the short side?.....Campag track ends are a little thicker, but not massivly........ Hard to tell if the back wheel is set up at its 'shortest setting'........maybe there is a bit left to allow the chain to slacken off?

Overall though a stunning bike, is that a steel Campag seat post?

Wonder if someone here on the list is a pottential 'winner'?

cheers
