Bikes: 198? Colnago Sprint (Columbus SL), 199? Specialized Allez Epic (carbon), 19?? Peugeot Optimum (Reynolds 531)

Take two: Is this something worth pursuing?

The Lejeune I was originally interested was apparently sold while I had dinner tonight. I should have known it would go quickly... the price was right, after all. I take some minimal comfort in knowing that its sale was probably pending by the time I discovered it.

Discovering that the advertisement had been removed, I began my search again, in despairing hope that it had simply been relisted. No luck there, unfortunately... However, the following two bicycles did catch my eye.

1




-few details provided in the ad, but it appears to be similarly equipped as the last bike I wrote about, although with a different decal scheme.
-I still have no clue about that tubing decal... did Reynolds once produce their own version of hi-ten and sell it with a yellow decal like that, or is it Columbus, as was suggested for the last bike?
-no size is listed for the frame, but it looks like something between 56cm and 58cm, right?

-this bike is apparently "all Reynolds", has Shimano Crane derailers, Dura-Ace brakes, and is 56 cm. Does that look correct?

So... the same question, take two: Should I make an effort to take either of these bikes home with me? Once again, I appreciate any and all feedback! I'm ever in awe of the depth of the knowledge-base here.
