With all due respect, some of the pricing comments I've been seeing lately are outright silly. This looks fantastic and it would part out for MUCH more than this. A STANDARD SR group parts out for around 600 in my experience. There is a huge difference between you can't afford it and it's not worth it. Most of you saying it's over priced wouldn't accept under $1,000 were you selling it.

The thing is panto'd...anyone ever tried buying panto'd parts? I don't know what would make someone say this is overpriced, but just because you didn't get it for free in a dumpster or a steal at a flea market doesn't make the pricing unfair. I feel fairly confident that I could buy this and make a profit. Actually...pretty much ANY decent condition Italian columbus frame with top end campy parts would sell for this asking price...WITHOUT panto.

In fact I'm going to take a look tomorrow and might buy as a keeper...it's GORGEOUS, it's priced reasonably (I'm sure I'll talk him down) and I've wanted panto'd parts.
