Buy it...

Too bad it doesn't have the original Campy Pista cranks.

I can't. 850 bucks is a sweet price but too many bills are due right now and I can't justify it. I think my wife was literally drooling when she just saw it. Then she said she'll kill me if I buy it.


Too bad it doesn't have the original Campy Pista cranks.

Very true. But $850 is still pretty nice. Ugh...

Do it Scrod, you can probably hawk off your TT for the same price in parts anyway!

sexiness

Nate, you're not helping. :lol:

Campy track cranks from that era are, I think, 151BCD. I know someone with a set that she's not using. She wants to sell them.

If my wife wasn't the most awesome person I've ever met, I'd be riding this thing down to the courthouse to file divorce papers Monday morning. :eek:

damn, shoulda stayed in boston for just one more week...

Uh oh! Dilemma!
Wife or Bike wife?!

Luckily the wife is way into bikes too. She just said if it were her size, she'd be having the same dilemma.

if it were me, id sell the madison and the pb.
but thats not logical at all.

No, it's really not.

maybe contact the seller, see if he can keep it for another week or so?

That's gorgeous. To the cranks thing, I'll add that it's too bad about the wheels, but $850 isn't bad.


. . . and it's even my size.

... Is this Scrod I know? lol indeed.

Do want! :D

I was sooo tempted when i saw this but not enough funds since i just added a road bike to my stable.

I may be reading it wrong, but it looks like he's selling just the frame; note the "Comes with:" part. Still not a bad deal, though...vintage track bikes bring big money.

Ohhhhhhh...I overlooked that. I can't buy it anyway. :(

I think your probably right...
Damn, I would've bought it. Its in my size too :(

Scrod should just buy it and hide it from his wife.

:lol:

WHY DID YOU SHOW THIS TO ME???? I trying to buy a road paramount or PX-10 and then you throw this at me :(
must resist.

I just verified with the seller that it is indeed only for the frame. IMO, 850$ for just the frame is not such a great deal. I recently bought (a few months ago) a 1973 paramount track for 900$ and the only original parts missing were the stem, bars, and pedals. Maybe Boston is way more inflated than Chicago... I don't know but 850 for just the frame seems more like MSRP not actually a "deal"

p.s. I'm not saying that 900$ for my p-14 is necessarily a good deal either, but self control can be satisfying too, albeit usually in hindsight.

Don't buy that crap. Buy an awesome Republic bike instead. They have sweet colors.

:banned:

Scrod should buy it for his wife, and if it isn't sized right for her, he should offer to ride it himself to make up for his error.

As my "punishment". Ha!
