There was a cherry 57 cm Sannino pursuit frame that went for $200 USD. makes me weep.
I wish I'd jumped on a couple of frames when I started looking about a year and a bit ago. It seems anything remotely my size is priced way out of reach. I'm better off buying a new Marinoni or something...
$1300 and $200US is quite the range. yikes...madness. 1300US for the frame and fork is sheer lunacy. you could easily go custom or nagasawa for that much. i totally lucked out on my 56cm sannino ($590US.. my bid was for $700 and luckily no one tried to snipe). i did have to buy a new wheelset for the street though because i'm not about to ding up the shiny old school campy record high-flanges it came with.
ceya scored a sannino pursuit but not sure how much he paid for it. cav, you're a big boy which makes the pickings all that much slimmer... (hey, what's wrong with your ciocc anyways????!!!) i was patient for awhile and almost bought a khs flite off another forums member on craigslist..i'm glad i waited. stay patient and keep lookin!
