Just a note, the frame didn't sell on Ebay, and I'm attempting to work a deal with him off line. I'm trying to get an outside judgement on what the frame is worth, I do not plan on paying 500 by anymeans. I'm really interested in a pursuit frame with a sloped top tube, and am not concerned with the paint. This spiked my interest because it seems to be made of quality materials, and from the description, would seem to be in fine shape.
