I got it free(!) from a friend who was going to give it away to Goodwill!!
My friend, who worked in the bike industry in the late 80s and early 90s, knew Gaggioli through work and he needed some cash to return to Italy after the Coors Classic race left San Francisco. She bought it for ~$700 in 1991.
We were exchanging emails and she mentioned her plan to donate the bike. I couldn't get on the telephone fast enough to stop her. Luckily, it was night time and she wasn't planning on going to Goodwill for a few days. Whew!
