rekmeyata Thanks for the lead, maybe if I hit Powerball, I can get an identical one from them.
I guess their price is justified given they are NOS and rare. I paid $495 back in 1987.
I too was drawn to them. Very modern for the 80s, and striking to look at.
$500 in 1987 is now $1,043, but the cycling industry has far outpaced inflation all due to the corporate way of thinking...hobby equals disposable income, the more expensive the hobby the more you can dispose of. Consider now that almost all components and even frames are made in China with labor rates that are cheaper than they were in America back in the 70's even! So it's all about profit taking. It would be easy though to get a new frame and fork and simply transfer your components to it if you wanted to. But I understand, money is money and it's harder to obtain it today then it was in the 80's.
