Got one hell of a deal for the 2 bikes. Just thought I'd share. They will probably be cleaned up and sold for college tuition costs...

Very nice haul. The Italvega's the better bike given that it's a SuperLight or similar model, should be all Columbus tubing and has the better wheels, too. Campy Racing Triple is a modern replacement, but nothing wrong with a triple if you ride in hilly country. The AD (3 main tubes 531) will clean up to make a decent rider, and certainly a frame that appeals to those who like a longer TT. Both have rear-view mirrors and (horrors!)a kickstand on the Italvega! Got to lose that stuff quick. ;)

The frame is going to clean up surprisingly well. There's very little rust, no dents or dings. The components such as headset, cable guides, etc will probably need a soak in oxalic acid. I'll update with pictures once I'm done.

**also, it's an Italvega Super Speciale.
