I wonder if there's a youtube vid titled "watch this".
There is/was a near-mint version of the same bike on CL here DFW for only $120 if I recall correctly. Remember, too, that this is a 29-lb. we're talking about here. Not worth that much anyway.

EDIT: Here's my post about it from the ebay / CL finds thread. I didn't state the price, but I'm pretty sure the ask was $120.

From the catalog...
