Not yet, I don't think, but I hope that it will change.

I have a '74ish Rauler, which is serial #11. They were a sub-contractor and pantographer for Colnago, and my bike has Colnago pantos on the fork tangs, with the Rauler panto on the fork crown. I doubt that there's another bike like it in the world. I've never even seen reference to a Rauler prior to the late 70s. Theoretically, it may be exactly the same as an early 70s Colnago and far more rare. That being said, I think that it would be lucky to fetch half of what a similar Colnago would bring.

Don't even get me started on my Billato or Cherubim/Echelon. I seem to attract these bikes (which are great bikes for the money, btw).
