I have really been intending to post in C&V sales here (at different price), but just haven't done so yet. This C/L listing was a quick and dirty moonshot to see if I could sell locally. Not a nibble. I am sure nobody is shocked. Ultimately, I would prefer to keep it within the C&V family.

I did fail to mention in the listing that I have a pair of reproduction Campy world logo hoods I bought for the bike. I should add that bit of info. The original hoods were ruined and looked terrible. I removed them.

Also, I am fairly certain this bike is all original, so I have been reluctant to change anything at all. I think the next owner may be appreciative of this survivor condition and I do not want to take anything away from that. I don't even want to put on the replacement hoods.

BTW... there is a thread I started here in the appraisals forum a few months ago about this bike. Folks recommended giving her a better cleaning and removing the hoods, which were both done.

Hopefully I haven't committed a faux pas with this response, but I had to chime in when I saw my own C/L listing.
Well I of course chimed in here and there, got a little carried away here, sorry about that. You did as we recommended and promptly got a beatdown here, our/my bad. Looks good regardless, maybe could have gave us a headsup so we wouldn't step right in it even though it shouldn't have mattered, again sorry.
