2024 Diablo Day 31 - Saturday Morning Junction

Beautiful weather and I was dressed for cold. Still a few lingering COVID
symptoms like coughing, but mostly I felt good, moderately strong, but
endurance ...

Selected auction prices from 2003
While looking through some old computer files, I discovered an old Excel spreadsheet I used back in the spring/summer of 2004 to track prices of vintage cycling auctions on stuff I was interested in. I thought I'd share some of these with all the valued blog readers out there, as there are a few eye-openers in there. Sadly, I didn't have the presence of mind to also save a few photos from the auctions, and only noted a couple words as to how I judged the condition of the parts

Two conclusions I can draw from this information: 1) I considered many of the items on this list to be at the top of the market back in 2004. In 2010, if I could pay those same prices for those same items, I'd buy them all day long and feel like I made out like a bandit. 2) I have no idea why I was so sloppy about the bike years/models/frame materials, etc. and those tiny but important bits of info are lost to history now.
