where ?

You just have to watch the classifieds like a hawk, they do come up every now and again. When they do, and it is what you want, jump, even if you feel like haggling and holding out for a better price. They will keep and increase their value if it is one of the higher specced collectable steel framed ones. The real scarce ones you are unlikely to find for sane money though. Things like Masters, Arabesques or special editions, and the like, with top of the range Campy groupsets and Italian components, will cost you an arm and a leg, but then the mid range ones will give you the same riding pleasure. Here I'm talking of aluminium frame models or early carbon ones. If you really want one right away, then trawl E-Bay if you have a strong credit card and nerves.

 

Edit: If you need advice on hat to buy, ask in the All Things Colnago and Retro Bike threads. There are some extremely helpful guys that will give solid advice.

1. When an entire wardrobe is filled with only cycling clothes (hubby and I)

 

2. You own more pairs of cycling shoes than high heels

 

3. The number on the scale means nothing to you as far as looks are concerned, its all about how fast you can climb. :)

....and all your non-cycling friends want to know why you want to lose weight ...because you are thin already.
