OK then... make me an offer

Any interest?

Too big for me, but given you can buy a new, quality Italian built frame for 800 Euros, and a Veloce groupset for less than £400 that's a hefty premium you're looking for over and above the cost of the parts.

I think you missed out the phrase "in my opinion"... but thanks for posting anyway. I assume you don't want to buy it then?
