I recognised the names, and asked for a look.
They promptly dragged out a box with a couple of Track frames (Europa has pinched one), and also a couple of Cinelli frames, a Proxima & a Unica.
Whilst they had some scratches and vertical droputs (no good for a fixie), I asked how much. After a phone call the next day, $200 ea was the reply.
Now, they had been bugging me for a while, and MountGower snaffled the Unica, and finally, I succumbed and got the Proxima for the princely sum of $150, and so, Project Pistacchio is born
