How much? Firstborn child? Spare kidney?

I got it for $50.00. I going to rehab it, see how it rides. It's Reynolds 531 with very nice lug work. I'm on the look out for Brake pads for those Universal side pulls. On Saturday I'm picking up a 58cm Benotto for just a bit more. The Benotto is in really good, ride anywhere shape, same LBS.

Great score. I missed out on a Super Mondia this spring. It was my size, and $350. Even at that price, It was a pretty fair deal.

I will look forward to seeing how your bike looks after you clean it up.

WOW. Epic score. Wish shops around here played that game...

No photos of the whole shebang and top tube scrapes? :P

And keep the trash tips out of the background! :innocent:

Is it a metallic black? Should polish up to a nice patina.

The top tube has scratches on it where the original owner leaned it against everytime he stored it. I'll take a pictue of the whole bike today , the one I took came out bad. Just like your Masi the chrome has clear on it. It is metalic black with hand painted box lining on all the tubes.

Give the Mondia a ride. You will be impressed. I found one a few years ago (http://www.mytenspeeds.com/My_TenSpeeds_1/Feature_Bicycles/Feature_Bicycles_Switzerland/Super_Mondia_Special_1_Introduction.htm) and loved the bicycle, but, as usual, it was not a good fit. Too bad and I would buy another in a heart beat if the right one came along...

Where is this magical bike shop? :innocent:

I'm good friends with the owner. He also has a 60cm Titanium Colnago with a 25th Aniversary Dura Ace Groupset with matching Dura Ace wheels, in PERFECT shape. I'm still trying to work a deal on that one.......

If he sells it to you for $50, I'm going to saw off Florida and push it into the Atlantic...

YIKES!!! I'll make sure to give him more than $100.00 for it....promise....:roflmao2:

Any bike store that sells a Super Mondia for $50 is a bike store that won't be in business much longer....

I just picked up the Benotto, pictures when I get home, BTW the shop has been in Buisness for a long time. I won't be keeping the Benotto, maybe Kurt would want to trade......


Bikes Iv'e purchase from my Friend:

1986 Mint Schwinn Super Sport
Super Mondia
Benotto

I was hoping that they were your friend rather than not knowing what things were worth?

They know real well they are older roadbikes, with limited value to him.

huh ??????

He's trying to say that the shop he buys them from rakes in enough dough from their new inventory that they don't care to spend time trying to squeeze every last dollar out of C&V equipment that comes their way.

Hmmm. Refreshing, and rare, attitude.
