No, that's insane, there's a similar one (albeit in worse shape) in Binghamton/Elmira for $200 that I thought was ambitious.

+1. The asking price is very ambitious, especially this time of year, in a market like Rochester. However, I do like the color co-ordinated saddle and bar tape.

That bike was posted on C&V over in the Centurion section not long ago and received some very positive feedback.
Maybe a little steep for Rochester, but that's pretty much what I charge (and get) for a very nice original-ish bike that's received a total refurb here in the DC area.
If it was indeed totally dismantled, polished, re-greased, adjusted, etc. the seller put a lot of time and effort into it.
However, to T-Mar's point, this time of year not much is selling so I'm building and storing for April.

Please don't confuse ebay "asking" prices with "selling" prices. Many sellers never get their ask price. some are far from it. Value is determined once an item actually SELLS. Its easy enough to check SOLD prices.

It does look nice, they certainly did a good job cleaning it up. Except for the stupid routing of the rear brake cable, but that is easy enough to fix by removing the seatpost quick.
Still, $600 is waaaaay too much for this bike. Even if it was NOS.

The bar tape was wrapped top down. What a waste of a perfectly good fade.
