Well by now, everybody is fully aware of the Legnano that is for sale on Italian ebay (http://ebay.com/<blah> ViewItem&category=2904&item=2705225338&rd=1). I have been communicating with the vendor and he has been offered $500 outside of ebay for the bike and is thinking of ending the auction early to accept the offer unless he gets some bid action soon. As you can see from his feedback record, he is quite new to ebay and is not aware of teh fact that many people wait until the last minute to bid. He therefore is thinking that the lack of bids is a sign that nobody is interested period. He has also sent me a number of very good photos of the bike and it truly is a beauty. I can try to forward them to anybody who wants to see them. The bike seems to have mostly if not all original parts. It is 56 cm c/c frame. The vendor is not terribly well-informed about how to best ship to the US but that shouldn't be too overly difficult to sort out at the end of the auction. The bike has a beautiful Dolomiti saddle that should be worth a pretty penny on its own. I had initially foreseen a 500 euro snipe bid but a lack of liquidity following a house purchase means that I will no longer be bidding.
