Anybody know what's up with this De Rosa in Colorado Springs? He's been trying to sell it for years now, $600 seems like a pretty good deal. THe fork could be a replacement, maybe it's been crashed?

Gotta be one of the swankier Raleigh models. Pointy chromed lugs, campy drivetrain, Brooks, and clueless seller: the perfect combo!

This is one I'd buy and run the bike through Bike Index and call local PD for the nearby counties to see if anyone reported it stolen.
Still learning
Clueless seller? Most likely stolen in this case. This fits the typical M.O. for stolen bike sales on CL in the SE USA: Leave out the brand name and details of the bike so an owner hunting CL can't find, use as few words as possible, "quick sale", no explanation about it, list at a fraction of actual price, act stupid in email/phone conversation, like you found it in your garage or your uncle died and it was in his garage when you cleaned it out...

I spend a fair amount of time in Gainesville, Miami and the Tampa/St Pete area due to work & family, that CL ad screams of those two situations I've dealt with: An old person died and left it behind (estate or family resale), or it's stolen. I've bought a few of both in the past decade with similar ads in GA and FL, both failing to include any names off the bike and components whatsoever - when you consider the minimal effort involved, I suspect it's intentional for the scum selling stolen stuff and laziness or oversight by those who don't know the actual value. I've also picked up a Yamaha 454 LTD motorcycle and a couple of other bikes on CL which were similar from rental property owners where the renter left them behind and never returned to claim. You just never know until you get it and run the serial numbers.
Sometimes I wish we had a way to run serial numbers through law enforcement databases. Would make it a hell of a lot easier, and I suspect a lot of us could more easily be reunited with our stuff.

You know, one of the nicest things about living in Mexico is that the dollar goes so much further. I sometimes find myself wishing I could join you northerners and scoop up some of these nice bikes. Then it dawns on me that if that were the case, money would be tight. And around and around she goes; where she stops nobody knows.
Carry on

The fellow that owns the Vuelta is moving to Atlanta, about 160 miles from me, and I have relatives there. I made him an offer, like I need another road bike (like most of us here)! Maybe it will be too big.

I am pretty sure that red Pinarello for $500 in Austin is a Montello; the entire frame appears to be chrome plus the little details like paint outlines on the seat stays are extra nice. Either way, a great deal.

Based on what I remember digging through catalogs trying to figure out what mine was, looks like the latter half of the 80s Montello - chrome triangle, commemorative '84 sticker, etc. Excellent price, especially all DA. Due for a repaint, but the entire frame is chrome and it looks like it didn't see a lot of corrosion, unlike the blue one that follows it (note the freckles on the chainstays of that one)
