Just put this one in the garage...

Great condition...Needs re-cabling, tires, and one white c-record lever cover (ouch 100.00 a pair?)

Very cool, Nice find!

That is a score, first I've seen in some time.

Are the brakes C-Record or Croce D'Aune? I can't tell from the pictures.

Niiiiice

I've got a pair of those levers, if they're the Q/R style. PM me.

damn you, i've been checking CL orange county/san diego/los angeles ALL day throughout the day and totally missed this one.

Hahaha. Poor Octavio should of kept his opinions to himself. That was one of the better pictures I've seen of him. He was quite the ogre'ish looking little guy. Won the 24-25 TDF though. Very cool find and that thing looks spotless.

some nice member showed me how to set up a google alert for certain key words you might try that

Wow...Nice find...makes me feel kinda sad about my De Rosa find now (just kinda)...congrats.

Gave the guy 500.00...His email blew up. Great guy. stopped riding a few years back and this was a dust collector. Original owner too.

Be sure to check the sporting section too...sometimes people post bikes there.

you got a great deal. the brakes alone sell for half that. clean it up and treasure it.

omg. I love this!!!

so nice!

Nice pick up.

Isn't this fun! I really like your Bottecchia. I am building a late sixties "Giro d'Italia" and at the moment. And, by the way, thanks Brian.

One of my all-time favorite colour schemes.

Luck and persistence are our friends, aren't they!

I've recently missed a dream purchase because I couldn't raise enough funds instantly.

Even if one of these dropped into my lap at this time of the year, it would be a challenge.

Maybe we should all have a rainy day fund for bikes!

Ah, the lure of another pretty face!

You will most likely figure out though, that you purchased one of the best "riders" available.

It usually dawns on me everytime I take my SLX out with my riding group and they start complaining about aspects of their bikes at the 40 mile mark.

I never am smug, but I do smile.

You have a De Rosa for goodness sakes!

please post some more detailed pictures. Very nice find!

Nice find, I check CL daily but missed this one. Too small for me anyway, enjoy it!

saw this one on CL too. was out of town visiting family ;). congrats.
