I recently parted out my Columbus SLX/Campy C-Record/CDA Tommaso. Delta brakes, etc, had it all. The reason I parted it out was I had wrecked it and had the bulge thing going on in the down tube. I figured if I sold it as a complete bike, somebody would be wanting a deal because of the frame damage. So I stripped it totally, the parts brought a lot of money, but it was a lot of work, both the disassembly and cleaning, managing the ebay sales/shipping, etc. In this case, I think it was worth it, and I even sold the frame locally on CL with full disclosure of the damage, but it is a pretty big hassle. And even still, there is still a seemingly inexhaustible supply of various bits/pieces around, it is sort of like those slaughterhouses in Chicago where they use everything on the pig except the squeal.
