It is tall...whew...it is tall. That might take off some of the value...as there are less tall people out there then normal height...

yeah...it's a 60 or 62cm. i'm only like 5'9, so no way will it fit me - believe me, if it did, i wouldn't even think about selling it...

There is definitely a market for tall bikes; just ask Jim "CyclArt" Cunningham, who prefers a 64cm frame.

That is a very nice-looking bike (too big for me, as well -- I need 55cm C-T), although I suppose it is less collectible than one of its chrome-lugged predecessors from the 1960s and 1970s.

Interesting you should point that out. It's one of the first tall bikes I've seen that doesn't looking completely dorky. Still has nice symmetry.
