So it goes.
getting a bit defensive.
the price you paid and what you are asking are not that important.
perhaps In an order of magnitude, possibly.
my hunch you paid too much, if the reported price paid is accurate.
Campagnolo does not accept neglect without penalty, but better than most, the bike is 60+ years old, a decent chance the bearings have never been serviced, or last were a number of decades ago. I have bought bikes in similar state of disuse, about 50/50 for serious parts replacements being required. Hopefully it does not have the odd 74 mm wide bottom bracket and the spindle requires replacement. Cinelli and Masi employed those for a bit about then.
Riding it without a complete service risks damage.
until then it is wall art.
The eBay listing will no doubt delineate that the days of the freely spending buyer are gone for now.
