I didn't buy it, but the story does end well. From the seller:
"I checked out your lead and it is a Capo Sieger! The ornate lug work was a mystery to me and now I know, Thanks! [The bike was] probably a frame that Ed Litton had hanging in his shop. I sold the bike to a woman who is going to use it as a commuter bike and I think she appreciated the bicycles details. Nice to know it will be back on the road and not rusting away in my garage."
