I saw an amazing looking De Rosa with nice Columbus tubing equipped with full Dura Ace and Rolf Vectors for $450 at a swap meet a couple of weeks ago, so it's all about keeping your eyes out and most of all, waiting. If you wait a while, the right deal WILL come along, even for $150-200. I passed up a CAAD3 Saeco cannondale with Ultegra off CL last month for $200 because it wasn't my size.
