over 30 years ago I was working at a pro bike shop while going to college and we had a cobbled up bike hanging on the wall.
It had a medici frame, a hodgepodge of campy parts, and it was priced fairly low but no one would take a second look. It had been hanging there for over a year.
One weekend when the boss was away I changed the tag and jacked up up from around $1600 to
$2600 as kind of a joke.
It sold in two days. |
No way. A Medici frame 25 years ago was a 500 dollar frame. Campy Super Record gruppo was 500 bucks. Where was the shop? Even the shop in Brentwood couldn't sell stuff like that. 25 years ago, I know where all the pro shops were around LA county. Back then people who purchased pro quality road bikes knew exactly what they were buying.
