Flippers always complain about the prices collectors are willing to pay-WHEN THEY ARE TRYING TO BUY THE SAME THING TO FLIP IT!
You C&V forum members are all HYBRIDs Flippers+Collectors. You literally have to speak out of both sides of your mouths.
Live a good life and get reincarnated as a rich Japanese or USA or Euro collector.
As always-It is worth what someone will pay him for it.Doubt anyone will pay him $2100.
I bought a "Genuine Schwinn" Paramount for $70 recently. Granted it was a mid 90's vintage cromo steel MTB with the splatter paint , but it was a "genuine Schwinn Paramount" with decent Shimano components.Guy was happy to buy it for $125. He got a very good sturdy do anything city bike for $125- more versatile bike than that $2100 one, but somewhat less collector interest!

wow, asking $2000+ and he hasn't taken a rag and at least rubbed off the dust. Sometimes I wonder what people are thinking.
