epicurean, you're absolutely correct. Had it not been "local pickup only" I think a lot more interest would have been shown. After watching a lot of bikes go for more money than I was able to spend, I started searching by location and then focusing on "local pick up only" auctions. Once I had done a little research, and had assured myself that a Univega was something I was interested in, I thought I'd have a good shot at getting it at a price I could do. Though it still came in a lot lower than I was expecting!
