How much did you pay for your last Italian bike
Just wandering what would be a good price for vintage Italian (Colnago, Eddie Merckx, Ciocc, etc.) Columbus SL or SLX tubbed bike these days. I've seen many sell for $1000, but is it possible to buy something below $400 these days.

$400 for an Italian bike?
$1000 for a Columbus steel bike?
Are you talking "frame"?

Not the frameset, a whole bike. I've seen 80s Guerciotti for around $800.
I think it was just like this one.

Got any friends in TX? $200 for a Paletti. Tubeset not specified, however.

Looks like those might be Record hubs. That alone is getting me kinda hot.
