The R&R lifestyle in the 60's and 70's would hardly fit into the world of cycling.

The seller appears to be a toy and memerobila collector (nice ez-bake oven there, sport!). He probably bought it for the Clapton spiel and never rode it. If he knew anything about bikes I doubt he would have chosen Sake bars for it. Anyway, I'm sure he has a crazy reserve price on it. Maybe some crap hole like the Hard Rock cafe will buy it. I really can't see the attraction to a hardcore vintage cycling fan.
