Scapin Road Bike - What is it worth... need to know ASAP =)

Pictures are not very helpful but for a very unique bike like that with Campy I'd say $400 is not unreasonable especially with a couple wheelsets. You'll probably never see another. Too bad the frame tubing is unknown.

Also, Toronto is a pretty high market right?

Not cheap, but if it fits I'd be snapping that up. Come on it's golden chrome. 'Nuff said. Toronto's not a cheap market either.

Is that a Chromovelto finish? I agree for $400 I would snatch that right up I would suspect the tubing is atleast SL level.

I do not know much about them but my understanding is they are very nice. I took a customer's home for a test tide back '95ish and it was a very nice ride.

Thanks! I'm picking it up this afternoon

I find the shifters mounted on the top of the down tube very interesting...

I'm hardly an expert , but looks like it could be Dura-Ace AX? (such a cool gruppo)

Pictures!!!

Ok here's the pics... $400... ($375 US)... and came with other hybrid style wheel / tire and a new Vittoria red tubular tire (still in package)


it's interesting because it does not have a columbus sticker on it and also has odd oval shaped tubes...

it looks like a LONG time ago someone pieced it together with JUNK! the fd and rd are campy and the stem and bar are 3ttt... everything else is JUNK!!!

They even used old bolt / nut stud brakes with washers instead of the proper allen key brakes !?!?!
