With the comments from my fellow enablers in my head I finally wound up contacting the seller, the bike was still available and I had some free time so I drove over to check it out - and bought it. Of course. Turns out I knew the seller, a fellow member of the local cycling club. Bike is quite nice and I didn't have an SL-tubed bike in the mix, but I'm not sure where this is going. I'll work it out quickly and if not I'll pass it on at cost, I only have so much room. I'd say I'm seriously starting to question my sanity but there's really not much doubt anymore...

At that cost, it is a super bargain.

I emailed the seller apparently while you were picking up the bike. He replied right after you left with the bike. If you do decide to sell I am interested!!!

Not exactly a steal but it also is in what looks like pretty flawless condition.

That Merckx is something you dont see every day. But the seller doesnt seem to knowledgeable about Campanutella. Merckx crono time trial 58cm full Campagnolo C-Record with Delta brakes. Ready to use or for collector.. Isnt this an early Mirage or maybe Stratos crankset? Looks like shifting would be awkward too.

Is that Trek a 23/59? If so after you take the almost NOS kit off Ill give you $30 for that useless frame and headset.

Beautiful custom handmade tandem - $750 (Philadelphia)








Up for sale is a gorgeous handmade Terry Osell fillet brazed steel tandem, with campagnolo dropouts. It comes decked out with top of the line parts from its era, and has been meticulously maintained. There are some minor scuffs and dings, but absolutely nothing structural, and the original paint still shines in the sun.
18 captain and 16 stoker.
