All:
This bike was pointed out by someone on the Framebuilder's List, but may be interesting to CR under the "plus ça change, plus ça reste la meme chose" category.*
For 5500 Euro, you can have an "all-Italian Fighter bike" that weighs the same as certain twenty-five-year-old Reynolds 753-tubed bikes that you can pick up for perhaps one-fourth or one-third the price in mint condition.... Let's see: now which ones would be worth more in say, ten years' time?
Hee hee hee............. clunk.
(Sorry, got carried away there for a moment and fell off of my desk chair. I'm OK now).
