First of all, the OP owns it already.
Second, does it make you feel better to value someone's pride, joy, and workmanship? Especially on a holiday which is all about family, peace, and thanks? WTF
Third, a few of us who bought the very same bike in 1972ish did so, because a Peugeot UO-8 was 33% more money for the same kit.
