I have talked to him on the phone, and he seems like a legit flipper. He also has some really nice stuff pop up from time to time. There was an older Trek racing bike (or something like that) that he has thrown up from time to time. Newer Dura-ace stuff, brifters, ect IIRC. Like @
smontanaro said he always has something. One of these days I want to make my way out to wherever he is since he seems to build up frames so I am guessing he'd have one I could get cheap and do it my own way.
If you search for his phone # on Craigslist his stuff pops up.
