24K Campy 50th Groupo went for 8k
Out of my league entirely... and show bike not a rider obviously. But well I guess not that bad if a regular NOS Campy 50th Groupo case can go for 6k+

Wonder where you go to get something like that 24k plated? Job looks nice. Makes you curious about what frame that Gold dipped Groupo would get built up with.

Good to see stuff selling.
I had a saturday night special gold plated back in the late 80's, and some car parts like door handles, overhead light, emblems (yeah I worked on my cars too to make them look good, although my gf now wife would argue that).... I was under 20 and my brother worked in a shop that did it next to nothing for me, so I plated all kinds of stuff. I gave the piece to my bro in law several years back and he still has. Kinda geto or showy but gold parts and pieces are pretty cool and fun to look at.

Sounds to me like someone overpaid by a bit under 8k. But what do I know.

Yeah, but it's a high number set. I don't get the "for show" mentality. They're bike parts and thus should be used. That said, I have to admit that I swapped my 50th anniversary gruppo for same vintage super record, because I started to feel uncomfortable about additional wear.

That gruppo is committed to forever spend it's days in a display cabinet, on velvet lined trays and shelves...... kinda sad,.....but who really wants to be seen on a C&V bike festooned with over blinggy gold plated stuff on it......
Just imagine having to go through that very stressful moment when one has to finally insert that seatpost into the seat tube......

Who cares. People value things differently.
FWIW, this is exactly how stupid I think Rolex watches are.

My first thought, this is a DJ Trump group.
All could be done after the fact save the pedals, had to have some cooperation from Campagnolo on those.
When the 50th groups came out, I liked some stuff but thought the price was silly.
I warmed up to it slightly over the decades, but not enough to seek one out.
Better than the later one, 75th? 80th? anniversary group, those ended up selling for a discount after the demand fell off quickly.

There's a place for just-for-looks. I just think a little more thought/time/effort could've made this a little more complete. But then I'm picky as all get-out

Maybe the cat who bought that group has a NOS 50th Paramount frame-set? That would all go together and the final build would be a masterpiece.. Then hang it in a display case lined with purple velvet...

Ahh more porn but related. I like this same year Super Record Campy Black/Gold groupo, built up with this Cinelli SC. For melthough it is extravagant show bike, but understated somehow with the Black chrome and Gold platted accents.

He now seems to limit himself to one every 6-9 months, but the price bracket is a bit different now, I expect him to get a set of the new Zipp wheels, $4k a pair...
