It just ended, no sniping, for $3650.

Wow! :eek:

Nice bike --but at $3600 wow, I have the same 1969 in a painted version, same size - don't get mad at me guys - I bought the whole bike 10 years for $400 - I turnaround and sold the parts accept the Campy headset and Brooks professional saddel for $400. I had it repainted and spread to 130 and now 10,000 miles later ride it with Campy ergo. Only problem I've every had with was the need for a drop bolt and long reach brakes. Yes like some I am a Waterford fan and own a rs22 and 1900

You NEED it.

Please post some pics of the RS-22. That is my favorite Waterford and pretty high up on my bike lust scale.

Nice bike, respected seller, great presentation, accurate description, some sought after parts, those brakes alone have fetched $1500. at auction, actually I was expecting this bike to hit $4k.

And if you had been following Paramount auctions the seller bought a drillium Paramount not too long ago for what was considered large dollars at the time.

Hoh, your in luck! Check out ebay item 7221782625. 61cm chrome P15.
They'll probably come out of the woodwork now after that last one.

Not mad. Just jealous!

Nope, I don't think so.
for one the $3600 bike had rare, sought after no logo campy brakes which as stated before
easily sell for $1500.
The seller (velostuff) is highly reputable, the buyer is a CR lister with a very impressive collection
of bikes he wants and knows what it's worth.
The bike was in fantastic condition, the auction showed it off very well and the size
was very desirable.

This new one is made for giants (at least from my closer to the earth perspective),
has nice componentry but nothing near the $3600 one.
And the auction will do nothing to help the sales (need more detailed pics).

I'm watching it. If it stays reasonable, I'm interested. I was watching that one the last time it was offered, when the listing was pulled. I assumed that someone bought it outside of Ebay, rather than the seller figuring it may not draw top dollar ending during the Super Bowl.
