Campagnolo 50th anniversary group

He got a Bianchi from Pantani, a Pinarello from Indurain, and the present one got one from Bernal and Pogacar I think. The Vatican must be heaving with vintage kit by now! 😍
Maybe he's on here discussing bikes.
Probably the sweary forum user once he's had a couple bottles of communion wine
 
I remember going to a closing down sale of an old bike shop in the Scottish borders when I was a lad. They had 5 (count em!) boxed up 50th groups under the counter. As I remember they all went under a grand. This was thirty odd year ago of course, I just couldn't bring myself to spot for a new old stock version at 5-6 grand...😂😲
 
This is a replica of the 'Colnago Mexico Pope', given to John Paul II.

Non fluted, I think the actual gold element was pretty thin, so not much weight there. I've got nearly the entire group now. I'll forsake the hubs and now on the hunt for a pair of reasonable priced Sheriff stars 😀
A contradiction in terms “reasonably priced” and “sheriff star hubs”…….
 
@petgel can borrow my time machine!
If I can find the keys🤔
