I agree with busdriver1959, the best deals are buying complete bicycles and frames locally and picking what you need and selling the rest..

After selling what I didn't need on the last bike I bought, I paid about $30 for all these parts below

Nitto Technomic stem 90mm
Nitto Randonneur 44cm handlebars
Cane Creek SCR-5 aero brake levers w/ gum hoods

Cinelli bar tape
Suntour Superbe long reach brakes
Avocet Air 40W saddle
SRAM PC48 8 speed chain
6 speed wide range freewheel, 12-32
700c wheelset w/ Shimano hubs
Panaracer Pasela Tires x2 32


I want to upgrade to 8 speed, so that I can use the Ultegra brifters that I have... I will probably end up buying a bike and parting it out just for the wheel set.


The Cenelli for $350 minus the pedals looks like a good deal. If it is a Cenelli, you could sell the frame for $200.. and you have a lot of Campagnolo bits for $150
