Campy was famous for running the same component down through multiple model names, especially in the 1990s.

Bonded aluminium Alan that's had repeated bad days, from the FB crazy department. Seller does mention "Please Note - this is a great restoration project, the top bar was originally snapped in a training accident and bolted back together therefore not suitable for riding." Good thing it comes with an incomplete Campagnolo seat "pole".

$70 for 10 speed Chorus ergos? If they were local, I've have picked them up by now no matter what the seller called them. But then, I have a thing for 10 speed Campagnolo.

This seller seems to have confused his Miyata Elevation 1000 (mountain bike) with the venerable Miyata 1000 tourer. "Known as the best touring bike in the world." Fortunately, he's not charging 1000 prices for it.

Size matters
I've got an eagle eye for steer tube lengths on steel frames. I honed on on this one as soon as I saw it, and was surprised (or was I?) at how inaccurate this listing is, in addition to disobeying the 1st Commandment: DRIVE SIDE OUT.
