I missed out this sweet [Gloria Garibaldina frameset](http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110502733996) with most of the important parts. These really are quite rare though there’s one Dealer in Europe that’s asking $4500 for his that is complete and in original finish (pics below). A bike from Italy I much desire …

I got shoved aside when all the big shot collectors went hammer and tongs for this NIB set of Campagnolo [[i]“no name”[/i] (1st gen.) brakes](http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290411385272). Just over $2000 !!! I thought they would have went for more :-o
Lastly, I missed out again :x on these Carerra Jeans bib shorts [Coolest Short Ever !!!](http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280478305161) You kids mightn’t know but there was a time when these were the shizzle :mrgreen: Faux denim and faux stitching, these bib shorts are only to be worn by the brave … and Claudio Chiapucci !!! Silly me for thinking these were off the radar so to speak :oops:
Not good pics but you’ll get the idea

These are not Carrera team shorts but they have their own certain appeal (or lack of it :-P). Maybe they could be an inspiration for a [fixed.org](http://fixed.org) “kit”

it’ll be $4000 when he resells it in a few years 😛
that, and the fact that buyer will have something very rare to play with for a few years

I can’t believe you let the Carrera’s get away. They went so cheap too. Lucky I’m not a size 4.

I added two pics of another one with original paint … here’s some more of a track version.

re: rake … post war Europe had very poor roads compared to today and on some sections the racers were riding on dirt roads. I wouldn’t call it fashion … I’d call it necessity.

some of you obviously don’t watch Antiques Road Show…
$2k is loose change for serious collectors.
It’s still relatively ‘modern’ items. Not even turn of the century.
Thanks Spirito for a great thread.
Shifter Dan gave me my carrera bibs in 2005. Pocket in the rear too. Only used for CWMCs!

Stylemaster 😉
I’m just about to lose the auction for a set of these too. Makes me kinda glad though as my ass won’t ever do them justice as you have \.
BTW … the rear pocket detail is killer
Anyways, the same seller has a now rare and very collectible set of one piece Cinelli City Bike bars/stem/brake levers. I beleive they’re the “Tirolo” model. Poor condition but if you know a good chromer that can keep the Cinelli stamp detail you’ve got yourself a very cool slice of history. Maximum Funk !!!

You should get some sniping software. I think it’s the best way to play. Less time wasted, less temptation to increase your bid, and automatic last seconds bid is a good defense against shill bidders ramping their own auction price.
I don’t use any snipe software so don’t have recommendations but might try it too.
