This one looks nice... pricey though.

FS: 55cm Tesch 101. 55cm top tube and seat tube. It's kitted out with an excellent condition 7spd Dura Ace 7400 group, including a 120mm DA hidden bolt stem. The crankset is the weak point as it came to me with a tiny crack in the NDS crank arm, so I've replaced the original 170mm cranks with sound but slightly more scuffed 172.5 DA cranks. I'll include the originals in the sale as well as the drive side is in fantastic shape still and would look great if someone has a NDS to match it. The wheels are DA hubs laced to Nisi Laser tubular rims and are perfectly round and true. The tires still hold pressure, but the glue has pretty much had it so I would recommend regluing the tires before really railing on it. It's got an aero DA seatpost and a nice white San Marco Concor saddle. It has 3ttt bars and (the only non-DA component) Dia-Compe compact levers. The serial is 3971 10155. There is only one small rust-spot to speak of, on the bottom of the bottom bracket shell (see pics). I have pulled the BB to confirm that it is just a little surface rust and the BB shell is intact. Seems something caused the paint to bubble up a little bit, and some flaked off when I removed the BB.

I have loved owning this piece of bicycling history (more on Tesch here: http://www.classicrendezvous.com/USA/Tesch_David.htm) but it is too small for me and is dying to find a better home.

I'm asking $1500 cash. Please include "David Tesch" in your subject line so I know you're not a spammer. I will promptly pull the ad if the bicycle sells, so no need to e-mail me to simply see if it's still available.
