Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.Charles Wahl

There's a person named Charles King who posted on the NY Cycle Club message board. He's the only owner, it has a Reynolds 531 tubeset, Nuovo Record derailers, Weinmann centerpulls, tubular rims/tires, Brooks Pro saddle, TA cranks, and everything is original, he says, except the seatpost. He hasn't ridden it in years, and wants to give it a good home.
Here's a URL to the thread; the most recent posting by him at the bottom includes an email icon that you can use to communicate with him directly.

(http://www.nycc.org/mb/thread.aspx?b=1&t=11815&tp=1&c=%2821%29) Don't mind most of the replies -- most everyone who had some opinion would know (much less appreciate) a vintage bike if it bit them in the chamois.
If someone would like to work out a deal with him before he eBays the bike, I would be willing to view and report, photograph, and if the deal goes through, pickup, and ship.
