About a year and a half ago I responded to an add on Craigslist for a Campagnolo Nuovo record rear derailleur for $15.00! I was even more surprised when the guy still had it. I called him and it turns out he used to race in the early 70's and had a set(front and rear) of Rigida blue label wheels with Stella double butted spokes laced to Record High flange hubs with a Regina Oro freewheel for $40.00 and flat type skewers. All his stuff was in great(dusty) shape, they just needed cleaning and greasing. The derailleur is Pat.73 and the hubs are date stamped 71. When I got to his house he said I could have two medium sized boxes full of odds and ends because he was having trouble finding anyone that wanted the old stuff! When I got home I went through the boxes and found a few Campy tools wrenches and crank puller, bottom bracket stuff and a Cinelli Unicantor saddle. I had spent $60.00. WOW
