What was the asking price?

I've had that happen. I was on the road when I got a text message saying that the frame had been sold out from under me.

I don't bargain very frequently by e-mail, but in that case, I likely would have given the seller an extra $20 when picking up the frame anyway.

It does look like an older Titanium frame. Litespeed and Lynskey both would have been building in Titanium during that era. Plus a few other brands.
