Never. That little guy is my pride and joy. I'm going to pick it up tomorrow and shall have pics of it posted here. Even though the second chance offer is legit, I feel that the auction was shady. There were two other bidders and both did not take it? I think they purposely made the price go up just to see where my highest bid was. Either way, I will see the bike tomorrow and check it out. If all is good, then I'll have a Merckx with which I have no clue to do with. If it's my size then I will have to sell one of my other rides. First one on the list is the Ventoux. Thanks guys for all your help. Now...get over to my other thread on the Godefroot! J/K Thanks again all of you. Thanks to this thread, I now have proof for the wife that it was you guys that made me spend my poker winnings on another bike.
