Exactly my point, BG - $2000 and I don't even receive all the parts to build the main portion of the frame (less fork). Then, I've gotta find a fork and decals to finish it off if that's my goal. I sure can't see myself just buying what he has here and putting it on a shelf.

The seller sorta shoots himself in the foot when he describes how rare this stuff is: "first time on Ebay" and all that. If that's the case, wouldn't finding the seatstays and a fork be nigh impossible?

Even for a collector of esoterica, I can't see this being a gotta-have since it's incomplete. Nobody's going to pay a premium price for an old Columbus SL tubeset without the box, fork blades and seatstays - right?

Well, maybe someone. You never know; and as we all know, it only takes one
