Thanx, I'm thinking the same thing. It is one of those "right time" things. I've been wanting a shot at that bike for 4yrs. When I asked his sister to inquire, he gave the answer he wouldnt even let the frameset go for less than 1200.00. The owner raced it when he was in high school. I'm blessed to have come to an agreement for an affordable price but totally caught me off guard when he started posting pics of a fully intact classic.
