Ha, ha, i knew a reply like this would come ...
No, i live in the EU in Holland to be precise so it's not gonna be a 1, 2, 3 affair besides i don't want to let go it was just a reminder of that although it was one heck of a find it was not 100% perfect for me in respect of size, but i would have been a big fool if i let it go for that minor reason. Besides i went out to pick it up on my old granny bicycle in the pouring rain and i was soaking wet, but no rain was gonna spoil my pot of gold find.
The 1'st owner told me that that the reason for buying this bike was as he had friends/family that where bragging that they should form a group and start racing in order to keep in shape and such. Well all said and done as the equipment was bought, but after a few times out riding the fun was not as much as talking about it.
The bike there for has no more than 300 miles on it of for us europeans less than 500 km's at the most.
Here are some more pix of the bike.
