Oy - just thank your lucky stars it wasn't anything more then a Grand Prix or a Record!
Oh, incedentally, as I see there's some considerable bike pity hovering about this auction, I thought I'd mention that the LBS has a sorry-looking (frame rust spotting through the paint down the top tube and down tube), 23", Bronze Green Grand Prix frame with fork they'd part with for $10-$15 dollars or thereabouts.
Anyone interested to save another Grand Prix from the dumpster? Yes...that's what I thought - nobody willing to pay the $25 shipping.
I know the Bicycle Heaven mutilation is sad, but look at it this way - they're tons of them still around, and cheap too.
