Hi Tom! It was a nice find at a sweet price, and the silliness of how I lost it after actually buying it was a bit hard to swallow. Truth is, I'm not quite sure what I would have done with it. This was an '81, and I have an '84 Deluxe Varsity already sitting in the basement awaiting my attention. I guess I would have kept the '81 as it was in much better overall shape.
So the net is thank you for the offer, but it's not like I *really* needed another bike! The fun is in the hunt, and in collecting and upgrading the fleet. Eventually I will have to start selling off the lesser bikes.
