Wow. thanks for the link. Im pretty sure Im going to want a key for it. We are asking the original owner if they could try to find it. I am the SECOND owner of this bicycle. It belonged to my young neighbors father inlaw. He was going to bring it to good will. they knew I was into bicycles and asked if I wanted it. Honestly I'm not a 3 speed expert but after seeing all the features on this bicycle I knew it was a little special. I haven't paid him yet for it. What do you guys think its worth? He left the price up to me.

I would say they bike is worth $400-600 potentially. Yet sense he was going to give it away I would go with splitting the differnce and pay him maybe $200-250 you both walk away feelling it's a better than you hoped for.
