Hi, I have been lurking on this forum for last two years. Collected great amount information, thank you. I need your opinion on this bike:
Rennrad, Stahl, Paletti RH 56 cm, Retro, Klassiker, Vintage, Campagnolo | eBay
it is exact this bike:
https://shop.cicli-berlinetta.de/pro...tti-road-bike/
And on Bulgier site this Super Prestige is very similar:

I have mailed seller and he send me some detailed pictures... On down side of BB says SUPER PRESTIGE and number 46
My questions:
1. Super Prestige should be top of the range of Paletti production, and which year is this bike?
2. For some reason crank and rear shifter are Shimano 105 and brakes are Modolo, pantographed. How much this affects ride and lowers the price and worth of complete bike?
3. I am 179 cm tall and my inseam is 82 cm, this bike frame is 56 cm. and the bike has 82 cm from floor to the top of top tube, pictures:
I have visited couple bike shops and tried 56 cm and it fit me well, seller told me that 54 cm is for me, I tried but it feels cramped. I need to mention that I tried brand new alu and carbon bikes. I am not racer, I am on the bike every day, riding on the work, for pleasure and for fitness... French fit is to consider... Will this bike fit me?
4. Tell me about Paletti brand quality, they are not widely known. Some people had these bikes and they have the best words for them (except common crack on chainstay, as I can read one comment). Are those bikes top frames as Colnago, Tommasini, De Rosa? How do they compare with Merckx and Moser.
5. Bike is in Germany, Europe, What would be fair price for this bike?
Thank you on any help.
