Vintage British high end bikes tend to command a premium. I've been looking for one for a while on and off and I've been keeping an eye on the prices. That's more than I'd want to spend but it's not a crazy price. I'd consider it if it were my size but I'd certainly want to pay less than $750 which is more of an eBay price than a CL price. I'd offer $500 and be willing to move up if the Seller is willing to bargain.
