By far my favorite bike I have ever owned/ridden. Basically NOS if you count the wheels (rebuilt by myself). A friend of a friend hooked me up with this beauty for a great deal. The gentleman had it sitting in storage for 20 some odd years and then decided it was time to clean house. When I started to overhaul it I was amazed to see the stock campagnolo grease still in all the bearings. I put in alot of time and effort into this bike and it is definitely worth it. I ride it as often as possible, even though some people argue it should be hanging on a wall, I still say no bike is too nice to ride.
