What confounds me, is the suspicion that the Campy gears, having been sold alone might easily have gone up over $1000. Why then do the high rolling bidders not attack an entire gruppo in one fell swoop?

Yes I agree, a very attractive price, however I think it is actually an indication of how few collectors are out there for the 1940s and earlier bikes.  A very shallow pool and most of the "bathers" know each other.

I think we have put a higher value on these old soldiers than what the actual market price is.  And most are looking for that Bianchi or Legnano, so have little or no interest in a Dalcezzi.

Any opinions?
