At least the price is right. But, beware, I am pretty sure the dork disk is broken.

VINTAGE GT ROAD RACING BICYCLE / BIKE
Astonishing to learn that GT was building road bikes before thee company even existed, and that those 1970s bikes would be decorated with commonly available sticker packs from 1990s BMX bikes!

Gaspipe Bottecchia, only $500. Good luck with that. On the "plus" side, it looks to be mostly original.
Vintage Bottecchia De Luxe Road Bike - $500 (Neenah)
This Italian Road bike by Bottecchia Model from late 1960s is rare. May need new tires but still a real nice bike.

I like that it has metal finders. Isn't that the ones they used in Korea as mine sweepers?

Yep, the 531 decals are the given but any shyster can stick those on.
Its the lugs, they should read either Nervex or Simplex.
Then the parts, Stronglight cranks, Criterium Simplex (which has more chrome, and silver plug on front and silver label on rear derailleur), Brooks pro saddle and tubular rims (if they haven't been changed like my Mercier 300). That bike could be an AO8 (defined by wingnuts on front wheel) or a UO8 if back and front have quick release)

I am one that can be remiss in taking proper close-ups.. but even more irritating is the guy who takes 5 close-ups, but no shots of the whole bike! ... like they just forget to do the most obvious pic?
