I picked up a Mirella from a fellow biker several years ago. Over time I corrected the minor issues that kept the bike off the road, but once made road worthy, it never became one of my favorites. I'm more into 1980s bikes. So when I decided to thin the herd I looked at the Mirella and thought, it's time for it to find a new home where it's appreciated. So I put it on CL, got a little action. Then about a week after posting, I got a text from a guy who was a sincere buyer. Those who have sold bikes on CL, know what I mean. They ask intelligent questions and want to set up a meeting as soon as possible. Well the fellow met with me at the pre-arranged location, took one look at the Mirella and bought it. Then he tells me "Oh, by the way, this is going in a museum after we work on it a little." I was thrilled. The Mirella is in good shape for a 1970 bike with almost all original Campagnolo parts. It's one of the less common gold painted bikes. I'm really glad that my efforts to keep this bike original paid off. The museum where it will appear is the Lane Motor Museum in Nashville TN.

Here's some of my pics of the bike as it appeared in the ad.
