Apparently it didn't sell so I went and had a look at it. The bike itself is in fine shape, original everything on it. I even recall the name of the shop he said he bought it from long ago; Cycle Centre Sportif on Notre Dame. BUT, I'm no collector.

The forks are High Tensile and the frame High MN - Manganese. Cranks Sugino VP. And it most certainly does have that infamous widowmaker of a rear derailleur as per T-Mar's observation. I left him with my number and suggest he re-try selling in the Spring again when demand is highest. If it doesn't sell then I asked that he give me a call. I never gave him any sort of offer either. I know what I'd pay for it. He needs to find The guy for this bike to pay what he asks though, not just A guy like me. It will take him a while I think. If he was willing to post it and advertised in the right place in Canada (i.e. Montreal or Toronto or Ottawa) then he might get some traction. If that bike were a name brand it would have been gone already.
