^ Those are both my size! I am realizing that my taste in vintage bikes is more classic 70s so the one in LA is unfortunately not that appealing. The 52cm one on marktplaats is more like it--MUCH more, but expected price (eu 400) seems high, especially considering the components. I can't justify to myself (let alone my wife!) taking the trouble (and risk) of attempting to buy it, get it shipped, etc. Or enlisting the help of one of my Dutch colleagues here to expedite! But maybe for someone that bike will look like a bargain. The partial chrome is very classic, for sure. If the two bikes were in the opposite places I would have been bargaining with the guy in LA from the first few hours the bike was listed, as it appeared on my eBay radar that morning.
