I'm sorta worried about the tub of butter thing.....

As far as the bike, I think it's worth more to Tim the Tool Man, and I was going to say 3.50, but the patina, obvious heritage, and clarity of detail make me go out on a limb, and, OK, 4.50.

Hey Guys!

Just got this FANTASTIC rare vintage classic Huffy, and I'd like you to tell me just how much this classic rare vintage beauty is worth, because I watch the Antiques Roadshow, and I know it must be worth a LOT!



And I know it's worth a lot because its vintage rare and classic, so tell me it is! Or else!

Thanks!

Regretfully,
Lord Dark Helmet MCXVIIISLXIIV531XIIVX The Third and 1/3rd.

(Or else, what?)

P.S.: It needs air in its unusual one-of-a-kind tires.
Free in my neighborhood.

Please, let's get serious here and answer the question at hand! Need some additional information, however, to establish value.
1) Did Lance Armstrong ever due a "beer run" on this bike?
2) Has this bike ever been used on any episode of Jackass or Wild Boys?
3) When you say Huffy, are you referring to Vincenzo Huffy the famed Italian frame builder?
4) Is this the bike Fat Joe rode in one of his Rap videos?
5) Is the saddle covered in fine Corinthian leather?
6) Has any internationally recognized bicycle racer ever won any major races on it?
7) Did it originally come with a "dork disc"? If so, will you include it in a possible sale?
I did contact Carol Prisant, the author of the Antiques Roadshow Primer, in regard to this magnificent piece. I showed her the photo you provided, and her response was....

It's not a fixie, so I'm not really interested...

Maybe if you spray paint it chrome and line it up with some paramounts in the sunlight that would help.

You can't see it, but it gives access to the Men Only forum that's just been created. I think that Spike Bike will be holding onto that black star, thank you very much.

1) Almost, until they told him he can't take his martini outside the bar. After all, the owner wanted his shot glass back.
2) It depends whether you mean an official episode, or whether I've just been a jackass in general.
3) You're getting me all huffed up over nothing.
4) If you say so, in which case, I'm raising the price $1,000
5) No, it's covered with butt leather. You'll be the butt of all jokes!
6) Yes. Lance Armstrong, Eddy Merckx, Fausto Coppi, and Luciano Pavarotti.
7) Yes. I can include 5 of them for an extra $250.

Bikes: Road bike is a Carbon Bianchi C2C & Grandis (1980's), Gary Fisher Mt Bike, Trek Tandem & Mongoose SS MTB circa 1992.

Are those cranks early Zipp full carbon/titanium prototypes? I see what must be early Metal MAtrix composite frame materials....
