REPAINTED BY CYCLART 5 YEARS AGO!
The paint and chrome are very clean - the pics just show the dust

He said the bike is beautiful with 4-5 small paint chips no rust etc. as well as the components being near nos rims hand built to hubs etc. chrome lugs and campy dropouts. I really like this bike im just not sure if its worth quite that much.

HE WANTS $450 WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?

I always appreciate the help from fellow mates in C & V

pics don't show much: it seems to have Campy DOs, but beside that, and the bling-y components, I can't tell you what kind of Italvega it is.
Is an Italvega SS conversion worth $450? Maybe: it's clearly had some $$ poured in, and perhaps this set-up is perfect for you...but I'd really want to see better pics, mainly of the FRAME, since that's the most important part.

are those handle bars flipped over riser bars?
