Gee, I had one of those on my 1959 Frejus. My brother also had one. Wonder where those bikes are now . . .

They're selling the history, Tullio Campagnolo introduced the "Gran Sport" as the modern derailleur in 1951. This is one of the originals that make bicycles what they are today.
I'm not a bike history buff, I only know this because we were looking up inventions that occured during my grandmas lifetime for her birthday party."Bicycling is a big part of the future. It has to be. There's something wrong with a society that drives a car to workout in a gym." -- Bill Nye

I think it goes to show that some people just have more money than they know what to do with it. How many needy families would that feed?
I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...
