A little over 2 years ago I came across an orange Jan De Reus at the Goodwill - $30, ; went home to research, went back to get it, only to find it gone.

About 8-10 months ago an orange Orbea lugged steel frame turned up on Ebay; rather than placing my highest bid then, I decided to wait and place a late bid. Famous last words--I forgot to place a bid; and it went relatively cheap.

Lesson learned: strike while the iron is hot!
