Thank you! - I've been to the site many times :-) Site is the reason ad got my attention - hoping to have Flyer in my stable someday. Funds are limited at the moment so frameset for $120 seemed like a no brainer. But repaint kills the appeal to me. I may still go check it out if seller sends more detailed pics of the lugs, BB, all the small parts and frame checks out to be a real Flyer.
Also - could be my imagination or angle/lighting of the picture but seat tube seems to be off (like slight bent or something)
