+1 Mine popped up on Charlotts's C/L. I hadn't checked it in a while, so it had been up for a couple of days as just a frame set. Guy was a flipper who had bought the bike and parted it out. So all I got was the frame. I have no idea why someone in Charlotte didn't grab it. But I was camped out at the guy's front door before he got home from work.


Mine started with a light coating of rust on the entire frame, but cleaned up nicely. Since I didn't have the original parts, I used mainly my stash of late 1980s Superbe Pro bits to build it up. I need to take another pic without cross chaining….

Please don't confuse ebay "asking" prices with "selling" prices. Many sellers never get their ask price. some are far from it. Value is determined once an item actually SELLS. Its easy enough to check SOLD prices.
