I know what Roger was referring to - that's why I thought the polite thing would have been to start his own thread.

Personally, I am surprised at the '68 price, as I don't think the Prugnat lugs are that worthy of avoidance - many of the Paramount folks I know feel that a Prugnat Paramount is one important arrow in the Paramount quiver. Plus, I think the Campagnolo 151 cranks and Record RD offset any Prugnaut-repugnance to a significant degree. I sold a chrome '68 not long ago for $1400+ without the 151's - personally, I'd rather own the yellow one.
