So that International has a few things going for it that make it a bit nicer than your garden variety international.
Newer brooks
Bar end shifters
Upgraded to record brakes and levers
cinelli bar and stem
Yes, expensive, and yes you can find them cheaper on craigslist, but it isnt so bad at the end of the day for an international with some choice upgrades. How many of you would sell yours for less than $1000 net?
