Sure, hence the $51 uptick for full chrome (I was pointing out that the bike was indeed well worth the purchase price). Anyway, there tends to be a lot of variation for bikes at the very top end, making a price guide more of a shot in the dark than it is for, say, 70's Schwinn Paramounts, where prices tend to be a bit more stable. BTW, I paid more for my SC than John did for his, and his is definitely nicer.
