He had met with a few buyers who kind of beat him up over it not being original. He had bought the frame at a swap and built it up. When looking at the bike at first it looked to have cracks, but it was only failing clear coat. I stayed away from it at first because his original price was $350...it just had to be broken, not. Buying a new seat post to replace the straight post on there, 25.8, and I may be changing the fork to a Reynolds carbon.
