I'm a preservationist, thats what I do, I'm also a student of history, I know that you can't save everything, but the whole fixed trend goes against everything I believe in.
Five years from now, most of the hipsters will have moved on, and we will all be dealing with a bunch on unidentifiable stripped frames.
I hear what you are saying RNW, I honestly do.
But it was a fairly sweet butted frame with missing and odd parts and I cant dictate to the market. And I don't want to dictate to a nice young guy with a tight budget either. Keep in mind that if he uses it every day/ or even few days per week, then we are all breathing easier with a few less emissions from his vehicle... I suspect that it gets used daily...
