I doubt that it will sell at that price, but is there really some especial value to these old Simplex seat posts? - Admittedly they are pretty cool seat posts and I suppose the NOS condition doesn’t hurt any, but $251 ?!?
- Weren’t they just the standard issue for early 70’s high-line Peugeots?
watch where the winning bidder is from: my bet is Japan. These are very sought after by the Japanese collectors who insist on period-correct and perfect condition (PC/PC) and will pay top yen for it. Hard to find one that's not rusty.
