... years ago, ken denney had a Pogliaghi track frame on ebay. it was going for something like $1150. i had watched it a bit and on the last day said no, this is a major disrespect. so we drank the koolaid, and we got it. needless to say it had a bit of a paint splash on the down tube, but otherwise it was exec. it has a good home here now. white/red/diamond cutouts and a mint campy track group.
sometimes you have to pay to play. and then live with the results.
