New addition to stable

Added another bike to the stable this afternoon, a "real" '88 Tommaso: All Campy including chrome dropouts except the brake levers. SLX tubing with chrome chain stays. A very unexpected purchase but the deal was to good to pass up. I took a flyer and offered half of asking price and the guy took it. He was tired of dealing with Craigslist "no shows" and the tons of email requests for additional photos. I looked at the listing for 2 days, contacted the guy, ask if he was open to offers, made one and scored!

Very nice score, although I prefer the Celeste Bianchi in the background.

Darn. He took half of asking price! He must of needed the cash or the room. How good of a deal was it?; if you don't mind sharing.

Very nice, but the cable housing to the RD looks too short.
