Here's a thread, and one of the members posted a link to scans of the sales brochure.

Since you misspelled the same way as the eBay ad, I assume you are looking at the same bike I am watching:

If I needed another bike, I would be all over that!

Since it looks very nice, I would probably look at going as high as $150 (plus the shipping makes it... well, more than I should spend when I already have too many bikes).

I suspect that for a couple of reasons I am drawn to the bike.

1) The sales brochure was taken in my favorite cycling area as a kid, at about the same time as I was riding there...

2) It looks nice.

3) It is a bicycle.

BTW - there are a couple of other threads on the volkscycle if you do a search.
