Second... that's a smokin' hot frame. Would be a great deal for someone to build up using a modern groupset.
I won't be anywhere near Capestang until Spring at the earliest. I'd be a serious buyer even if it's not my size and I already have the 1996 version in 59cm lol.

I asked the question point blank... 1750.
Luckily none of the NOS steel frames he has are my size.

Sorry but even you know that €50 offer was insulting.
I never make an offer if i know i can't come close to what the market value is for a bike part.

Sometimes a comment or an 'offer' isn't an offer between friends. I have a friendly LBS that ALWAYS tries to sell me a bike when I walk-in, even though they know I'm there for bits and pieces. Love It. Last time they said they had a Domane for $100 - but it was just a glossy poster.

Jeez, relax, this thread started out great with some nice pictures of a rare find and somehow it has become about someone's feelings getting hurt.

If that wasn't Celest and had Bianchi on it, I would have thought it was a Litespeed Vortex.
