I finally found what I want for a frameset, but it's really uncommon. So just for fun I thought I'd ask where you found your 'I'll never find that' item?
Just for fun I guess.

I'm trying to find a 53cm bianchi super pista 2010 matte black. Hell if someone walked to my door, I'd say shut up and take my money. Hoping to find it in some obscure place.

Meh. If I was looking for a Bianchi, it would be a 2005 Pista Concept in ~57cm.
Which is pretty much impossible for me to find, even though I'm not looking.

That would be the butt, Bob.
I bought a 2003 Bianchi Pista complete from a Housing Works thift store in Manhattan almost brand new for about $250.

Not too amazing or unexpected but I got a really great deal from a pal...
One of my buddies sold me a brand new Chris King headset for $50. He happened to have his backup Ellsworth Moment frame hanging in the garage with just the headset pressed in and offered to sell it for cheap when I mentioned I was building a bike.

The Turbo on my FG was found in an alley by a dumpster and all my Jerseys were found at Goodwill

Aside from the placebo effect of the concept, why? I did some research and all pointed to the concept being the same as a super, but with a ****tier seat tube top.
