Those are usually French and this is Italian but the campy derailleurs on this bike are nothing special. I'd value this at $100.

If you collect old bikes, why would you pay real money for this bike as opposed to getting a quality bike? At $200, I've picked up vintage bikes with Reynolds 531 (or equivalent quality) frames.

If you're not a collector, why would you pay $200 for this bike when you can get a quality bike that actually works right for that price?
I thank you all, but check this out!!!!
