Whats it going to be ?

[woodbutcher]

I am aware that l ask too many questions but everyone seems to have enough answers to win "Mastermind" so here's another one:
I have seen two very nice bikes (in my view) for sale, one is a mid 1980's Mercier in really nice condition and the other is a similarly aged Faggin in not quite such good condition. They may well end up being the same asking price and since l can't afford both (or maybe even either) if you were in this position what would you do? My thinking is that if l go after the Faggin and leave the Mercier alone there may well be more opportunities in future to acquire a Mercier than the would be to find another Faggin.
Ok so thats more of an essay than a question, forgive me !!

Shaun it has FAGGIN engraved vertically down the tops of the seat stays and on the fork crowns it has a sort of curled round FAGGIN in gold colour.
