OT - WTB: Old Road Bike

[ggehrke at gmail.com (GGehrke)]

Looking for an older road bike.  Prefer minimal components - just
frame, fork, maybe bottom bracket, stem, headset, handlebars, brakes.
Prefer horizontal dropouts, which were more common on older bikes,
especially those built for the velodrome.  A unique steel lugged frame
would be awesome.  Bianchi, Colnago, etc would be great but I know my
chances of finding that are slimmer.

Got anything cluttering up the garage?  I'll give you a fair price for
it and pay any associated shipping charges.

I'm turning it into a cheap around-town bike.  Planning to strip it,
paint it an obnoxious colour (1- so you're seen in traffic, 2-less
likely to be stolen), convert it to a single-speed drivetrain with
decent quality components, narrow handlebars, front brake only, throw
on some strong road wheels and ride it around.  I have a nice carbon
racing bike, but I don't want to ride that into town or to school.

Part of me is thinking, too, that it'd be fun to have an italian road
bike from the 70's or 80's to go with my italian designed 1980 VW.
Colour match them and take them to shows, I think it'd add a unique
element.
