Alessandro Nati and his father Vincenzo have a few very interesting bikes/frames up for sale right now. I believe they are worthy of a looksie:

1960's Pogliaghi: http://ebay.com/<blah> 569198

While it is quite weathered, this would be considered one of the prime Italian racing bike collectibles from the period. It is furthermore in a 62 cm frame size that should also fit quite a few CR listmembers.

late 1950's-early 1960's Frejus: http://ebay.com/<blah> tegoryZ56197

This was kind of the end of the line for the Frejus bikes in my eyes, but this one has considerable value in the parts alone.

1960's Cinelli: http://ebay.com/<blah> 46713475

This bike went through ebay twice when being offered at $1250 and has now been dropped in price to $900 with the addition of some NOS hubshells. I believe at this price, the bike is actually a fair price. You would obviously be looking at a repaint and likely fitting of all new components (they are almost all period-incorrect), but there is considerable value there nonetheless. You would need some patience to clean the old parts and then sell some of them to be replaced with more period appropriate ones.
