I'm in the Twin Cities, so I had to have someone near the seller do the purchase and pick it up. Then a friend in North Milwaukee picked it up from him and brought it with him when he traveled here to visit his daughter for Thanksgiving.
The pics are in reverse order. The final pic is of the bike as it came in the door before I stripped it down. I presently have my honey B17 on my Schwinn High Sierra commuter. I'll switch that over to the 610, and put the 610's nu buck selle italia on the Schwinn (and it will actually match the dark brown of the stays on that bike). The foam on the handlebars came off quickly. Trying to decide whether to spring for leather wrap or do cork with shellack.
I think it was hanging around here at $150- 125, but it was poorly advertised- something like "miyata bike." I just didn't have room for it.
It's a great bike- congratulations.
