I wonder if Bicycle Classics got hooked up with customers here in Japan.
Classic Campy parts are being traded for an outrageous sum of money here:
$300 for a Super Record derailleur, $500 for Delta brakes, etc... There
is a lot of truth behind the $200 price tag for Simplex 6600 derailleurs,
as shown on the Rivendell catalogue. Its sister derailleur, 5500 is sold
for about $250 here now.
