If the seller could provide some reasonable provenance for the bike it should sell for a large sum. But I don't foresee anyone paying that kind of money without solid proof.
I kind of like the smaller Kessels bike.
Elsewhere on ebay is a DeRosa made Eddy branded alleged team bike in Silver from 1978, I mentioned it earlier in another thread, I nike that one as much or more than anything presented by this seller so far. Also a solid minimum bid of almost $3K US desired, a price that might just be tolerated no matter the racing or team history.
I have this feeling that since the recession is kind of ending, those who sat on stuff for the duration are considering cashing out now.
