Classicists,
I rarely comment on the eBay wars. While I do participate, I rarely "win", mostly because I don't follow closely enough, or "snipe" at the end. This past week as time allowed I watched the auction for Masi engraved handlebars (Item # 1103546521). No doubt they were nice, but certainly not perfect with a visible scratch across the medallion. Despite the temptation I followed my better judgment and let 'em go. It mattered not, they were way out of my range...$ 63.00!!! Thank the Almighty I don't have an unfinished Masi project right now (Good thing they weren't engrave Colnago). At such prices the all engraved Masi 3V which went for about a grand last month was a steal.
Regards,
Carlo Carr New Orleans (anybody have any Bayliss pantographed parts?)
