The Retail price for the 1972 P13 was actually $350... which makes the $50 Campy brake option even more outrageous.

Also, regarding kickstand [groan!] we're assuming the original owner was a total idiot. Perhaps he had merely purchased the kickstand for a different bike and then simply paid the bike shop for everything at the same time - so, it had all just appeared on the same receipt... right? I suspect the repaint would have also included repair of any clamp damage, so we may never know.
