Mea culpa, mea culpa. After a nights sleep and some time to think
about what was said to me off list by several members I respect, I have
come to the conclusion that my post concerning the Bianchi PR prototype
was, perhaps over the line and violated if not the letter of the law, at
least its spirit. So I will try to correct that error. The bike is
familiar to most of you and is available to be seen on the Campy Only
site I posted yesterday.

It is a prototype and very rare. Some of the earlier parts
controversies have been corrected. Specifically, it now has Sheffield
pedals and appropriate brake calipers with wrap around springs rather
than nubs. I spoke with the omnipotent JP last night and he suggested
that I put the bike in the Auction at the Cirque. I am still unsure
about that but......I do not want to pack and ship this bike (if indeed
anyone is interested in it in the first place) so it is for sale for
delivery at the cirque for $3500. Of that I will donate $300 to JP at
the Auction for the chosen charity. If there is no list interest, and I
can fit it into the van, I will put it up for auction on Saturday with a
$3600 reserve with $400 going to the charity. BTW the bike is 56cm c to
t and has a 57.5 c to c top tube. Please contact me off list if
interested.
