I was after a steel classic road bike and so recently purchased this from eBay as it was in very nice condition as it had barely been used and was near to where I live.
It had been upgraded from stock with a Campagnolo Triomphe groupset - I think perhaps the bare frame had been purchased.
I paid £255, but I had totted up the value of the parts on it and it was a fair bit more than that. It really is in a like new condition with the exception of the spokes that have surface rust.
Apparently it was built for a specific event and then kept in storage since. I will have to give the seller a ring to ask him more about the event and when exactly it was built. Seems a bit strange to build a bike only using a 501 frame.
Plan is to give it a service, replace the bar tape and then ride it.
