Anyways I asked the lady hosting the sale about it, and she said that it was appraised at $240, but she would sell it for $200 (whomever that appraiser was, you are now my hero). I ran home and got my car, and returned with cash. After loading the bike, the lady told me there was also some "parts" that go with it, and I had to take it all (twist my arm). Everything was in boxes and bags, so when i got home it was like Christmas all over again. It quickly became apparent that whomever this person was, they has a love of bikes. Also it became pretty apparent that the parts I got, don't really belong to this bike... but that is totally ok. Anyhow I've thrown up some pictures here https://picasaweb.google.com/s7card/...eat=directlink
OMG! That's an incredible haul, even without the awesome bike. Welcome friend!
