This will need a bit of cleaning, but it's a rare beauty.

That seems like a big price for something that needs a bit of cleaning. part of why a lot of us now have Mixtes is that they were so affordable.. Then we took them to our LBS and got them fixed up or we did it ourselves.

I am guessing Campy is the reason for the price.

Only the hubs are Campy, although the other components are quality stuff (for their time). Kind of suggests that the frame has a lot of miles and components were replaced as they wore out with whatever happened to be handy.

I'm guessing this is the reason for the price:


likely built in the workshop of the legendary frame builder Steve Woodrup - Email us for details.

I wonder what documentation they have of the provenance.

The listing has a "best offer" option. Someone may get it for a lot less than asking if they are willing to take a lower offer.
