That's how I came to have three modern bikes, I used flip money to buy one and build two. And once you taste 10sp Campy, you'll never look back.
Thanks for the help. I think if I made flipping a habit, I think I'd end up getting flipped for a new husband by my wife ;-)

Nevertheless, as much fun as the vintage stuff is I commute and a more modern drivetrain would sure be nice.
