Subject: [CR]A Gift ... On Ebay

Thanks to everyone on this email list who has been so helpful to me over the past 3 months. For this, I am going to pass on some "insider" information that I have decided not to exploit.

http://www.ece.ubc.ca/~gillies/colnago_ebay/

Here are pictures of the "other side" of a colnago, currently sitting on ebay for $405.00, auction ends in 10 hours. It has the unusual 6-arm crank made by campy. I was told by another colnago collector that these cranksets are rare and much sought-after. Here is the item number for the associated bike.

item # 3620569214

I was looking for a bike with a 52-tooth crank and stumbled upon this information by accident. kinda like the NOS schwinn paramount, $300.00, "camping equipped", that i stumbled upon in the newspaper in 1980. The seller estimates that shipping to the USA would be $70 - $100 US$.
