If he's really a millionaire, ask him to give you the bike.

Maybe Cleveland is different, but that's how it is around here.

So is it "ventage" or "vantage"? Or is that something that "dont need 2 be explane"?
And I've been paying for public education for the last 45 years...
Wow. Just wow.

It is written on the top tube. I assume it is the model name.

This bike has been showing up again and again on ebay.
https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWAX:IT
The shipping link doesn't work and I could never get them to send me a shipping quote. Someone wrote them that the tires on the bike aren't whats listed. They haven't bother to change the listing. I asked about the rusty chain, especially since "the bike was actually only ridden one time and that was to get it to my store so he could sell it". I guess they forgot to mention that it must have been sitting outside the rest of the time.

Being that I own one of these I hope he gets it, but man, $500 for a Viscount? Even in PNW that seems awful high.

Here's a craigslist ad for a similar bike with more legible picture. It says "Titanium boron steel" on the top tube.

I've got a low-gravity bike made in India (newish bike). That's the kind of bike with the big basket on front and the small front wheel, otherwise known as deli bike, cycle truck, etc. But the stickers on this one say "Mission Commando". I can only imagine that the factory ran out of the right stickers and stuck whatever they had on there.
