Marty - you got me! I've probably seen about five come up for sale locally in the past few years (not sure about chromed though). I've never checked ebay for them so don't know about their overall availability there.

I've tried to get away from thinking that things are a unique opportunity (in most cases). I usually see another of whatever I want and if it's not that exact thing, I see something else I like. Sometimes I get focused on going after a particular bike, like I did with the Primato, but usually I just wait for things to fall in my lap. I wasn't after a particular full tourer, but that worked out just fine I guess what I'm saying is - there are lots of cool bikes out there, and it's ok to let them go when the timing isn;t right.
