Thank you for this info, as I was unaware.


Side Note: This doesn't have anything to do, specifically, with this forum, but is more a "general comment" to anyone looking for information about bikes, including bike values. There is a (so-called) shop in NC, called "First Flight Bicycles". While they sell mostly new & newer used bikes, they also (supposedly) carry/sell a good selection of vintage bikes. More interesting is that they (claim to) have a museum with over 450 vintage bikes, from the 1860s, through the present. I contacted them several months ago, when I had no information on my bike, and the owner, Jeff, was, to put it mildly, less than hospitable. While he informed me I should take the bike to local shops to get an appraisal, the way he worded it was less than kind. Well, now that I have gathered a considerable amount of info pertaining to my bike, I thought I'd contact him again, figuring the hard work was done, and with as much as he knows (or, should I say, CLAIMS TO KNOW) about vintage bikes, determining a value (or, at least, a general value range) should be easy. His reply was even more rude than his first reply months ago.

The moral of the story: Avoid contacting First Flight Bicycles at ALL costs...unless you enjoy having someone be rude to you.
