Vintage Gino Bartali bike - is it any good?

[albertdufflecoat]

Morning campers, bought this off gumtree, needs some tlc but was it worth the £50 i paid?

Thoughts please

Dunno. What's that on the chainstays? Just muck? And brake dust on the seat stay by the rim?

http://www.classicrendezvous.com/Italy/Bartali_Gino.htm makes it sound interesting. Any date codes on the hubs?

@albertdufflecoat looks nice enough , what are your intentions ?

Looks nice enough - if you decide you don't like it you it should sell fairly easily.

I would have thought that the parts alone should be worth more than you paid for it.

I can assure you sir, my intentions are entirely honorable!
