The Most I Ever Paid For A Vintage Bike...

After being given three bikes, this summer, and purchasing another for just a few dollars, I set a new record for myself. This full Campy Marinoni, purchased today after two months of "should I or shouldn't I", I finally caved in. The bike is little ridden (an interesting story in itself) and in perfect working condition (the original pantographed fork was included in the purchase and will be installed at first chance). Anyway, that "boy did this cost a lot", got me to thinking...

Without reporting actual $$$ spent, which of your steeds, still with you or passed on for one reason or another, cost you the most in dollars and cents? Just which one cost the most the day you forked over the cash, not what you spent initially and after restoration. Anyway, this one set me back more than I have ever paid before for a vintage bicycle and I doubt that I will ever pay this much again...
