...the best deals on CL for Italian bikes are usually the ones that are great bikes from experienced frame shops with little name recognition. So bikes with names like F
aggin, Rauler, some of the top line Atala's etc. all generally get listed and sold for less than Colnago, Masi, Cinelli, etc. There are a lot of miscellaneous threads here you can look through to see what people have noticed are great Italian bikes that fly under the radar.
And it's kind of a buyer's market right now.
