[QUOTE=mtnbke;18178865]The down side is that if you find something truly special like a 66cm Olmo dripping with pantagraphed Campy and other italian bits, or a custom Colnago or Pinarello you might find yourself getting stomped by a group of true Clydesdale cyclists that are jealous of your ride. Unlike everything else, big bikes just don't really exist that are good.

You can always find the Raleigh, Univega, Schwinn, Panasonic crap but the really special stuff that everyone rides in clown car sizes like Cinelli, Centurion Semi-Ps and Ps, Cenurion/Cinelli Equippe, Pinarello, Colnago, Masi, Olmo, Libertas, Merckx, etc. we never find that stuff. The mighty mites can find that stuff somewhere on craigslist somewhere EVERY day of the year.

They do surface from time to time. From your list:

My 64 cm Centurion Project Cinelli

My 66 cm center to top Cinelli SC, as equipped for Eroica CA

I thought there was a 68 or 70 cm Cinelli SC that came up for sale in the last year or two. Can't be many of those.
