Nice Buckler! Will raise a good penny I guess

agreed, goes with my roadie!

It's still for sale. The guy selling it is a former road pro. Won Liege-Bastogne-Liege back in 1990.

the top bidder is a name I recognise , i think one of the couple from Kasterlee who usually source a few rarer models

And the Wincanton Classic in Brighton in 1991. Probably the highlight of his career.

He's a DS at Cannondale-Drapac these days I think?

Correct. His brother has a bikeshop (Van De Water) in Kasterlee. He had a nice Gios bike for sale recently.

Think for a Belgian rider L-B-L is more of a highlight than Wincanton. ;-)

It's possible he's working for Cannondale right now, I don't know.

I know, I was joking. I think winning a monument trumps pretty much everything else.

Haha, but wasn't the Wincanton Classic a World Cup race either back in the nineties?

I think they had a buckler carbitubo Crono a while back , they've had a few master crono's in their time as well

anyone seen steel vintage's prices recently ?
the brand seems to be consistently the most expensive

Prices are high, that's for sure. But I'd say that goes for several Italian brands (and Eddy Merckx) that were producing pro's bikes in the eighties and nineties.

one wonders where they source consistantly , I think they 'broker' some bikes , getting pretty well established as market leader for vintage imho though

missed two mx leaders last week at 300 euro and under a piece , and a mapei lux dream went for 300 , some stuff still out there ....

if you want Merckx, you need to go to Germany. Plenty of Corsa Extra over there (mostly Team Deutsche Telekom - wonder why...) for reasonable prices.

I was just looking locally , don't think I'm fully committed , all were too big or small but there was room in them to flip
if I really was committed to an mx roadie , I'd like a pinarello Maxim , to match my maxim mtb

Nice to be nice
