The Winning Rigs of the Inaugural Cactus Cup Vintage Race
Klein was the top of my list when I was looking, since I always wanted one. It turned into a case of "I know what I got" and people commanding a premium for them, which I couldn't justify, especially the ones with a fade paint job. My eyes are pealed for next year though!

The Winning Rigs of the Inaugural Cactus Cup Vintage Race
@gerryatrix: we got into a car accident on Saturday, so a cash offer for the bike went from “haha thanks but no” to “are you still interested” kind of fast. Condition of the sale was getting to ride it again at next years event!

I can confidently say that Bianchi was picked up the Thursday before the race - 8 days to turn a bike from a barn find to race ready. It was still in pieces on my work bench Friday morning!

State Bike's Refreshed 4130 Hardtail: Still $1,500
@valrock: Sliding dropouts done right, and torqued, are very good. I've got three different options in my stable right now that I've had no issues with. Eliminating a tensioner is critical for SS Street Cred, and much like a rear derailleur, it's another thing to catch a rock or mess with on what should be a dead simple bike.
@Schmitty, while not elegant, Velo Orange does make a BSA EBB. https://velo-orange.com/products/eccentric-bottom-bracket-bsa?srsltid=AfmBOopYTt_7I6dGRsvLjjMQvy2WFEJPt5eJ_sb3cVztQKldR5O1jEj7
