Well folks, I'm back to my ol' tricks; buy'n and sell'n! Get'n up early in the morning scored this bird a pair of wheels today: Campy small flange, Martano bow tie rims, Stella spokes and a couple a Clement tires. Paid 14 Euros. That's about 20 bucks. Straight and true. Lucky man. Can you say "Masi perfect". HA! But, don't be jealous, what I got in store for youse guys, while not quite as great a deal, is absoluly (hear me Rock?) all right! O.K., what about this:
Bergamin Road bike, made in Torino, about 1970-75ish by the looks of her. She measures 22 inches square center to center (seat tube and top tube). And they're still around:
CICLI BERGAMIN DI BERGAMIN MAXIMILIANO. VIA BRACCINI
PAOLO n°85 10141 - TORINO
I wanna make things easy on me so,........ You finish put'n her back together. Frame is straight, no dents, no dings. I will include a couple of Campy dropout nuts to go on those screws. And I'll make sure they move nicely. Clincher wheels straight and true. No front derailleur. I'll also include some toe clips and straps. Please just look at the pictures for the full description.

This is a good bike, not common at all in the U.S. of A. and I'll make her a good deal. I figure the frame in the USA would sell for like $300ish, parts another 250 (e-bay) iffin I nickel and dime it. Thats $550 and a good deal at that. But we gotta figure shipping of $100 to $150 to get her over the ocean and in your hands. So what if I said $395 plus whatever shipping is and your golden? Packing included. Or buy her now and leave her here for L'Eroica. Fly Air France and bring her back home for free. Now that's a deal!
Tell me what youse think!
enjoy,
