The One(s) That Got Away
Post bikes here that you just barely missed out on or passed on that still hurt:
#1 - Bridgestone RB-T, nearly NOS condition, $150, 2nd person to email and the first person bought it
#2 - Look 753r Hinault bike, full C-Record w/ Cobalto brakes for $700, walked away at the swap meet and it was gone when I got back 10 minutes later to buy it
#3 - Jack Taylor road bike, mix of Campy and Superbe, sold at the swap meet for $100 to another vendor before the doors opened
#4 - 3Rensho TT bike, full DA AX pantographed group, beautiful condition, sold to $300 to someone else because I walked to get a hot dog instead of look at the bike area again
#5 - Early 80s Cinelli Super Corsa, full Super Record, sold for $700 for the same reason as #4
Oh how it hurts...
