But then I haven't been looking all that long, and somehow or other that seems to be a part of it too…
Looks like a great bike. Enjoy…
I have been watching them come and go on ebay for almost a year. Over that time I got a pretty good idea of what they went for in what condition. I've seen nicer but they went for a lot more. I think this one will clean up to be as nice as any I've seen on ebay, and I'm willing to put in the elbow grease to save a few bucks. After I won the auction, I started building a new set of wheels for it. An almost new set of Normandy Luxe Gold Lable Comp Hubs and a set of new Rigida 27 x 1" double wall, clincher, eyeleted rims. I'll lace them up with Wheelsmith double butted spokes. I'm getting to old to be messing around with sew-ups. I'll keep them incase I ever sell the bike, that way it will be all original.
