It'll be interesting to see what happens. I doubt it'll get any bids.

Superfluous. I can appreciate that handiwork that went into making this, but I wouldn't ever consider buying a bike like that.

Despite what the honda civic tuner set would have me believe, the flames are entirely decorative. Waterford was just showing off for a show bike.

Yes, it's been listed twice before for $5000. I
I've always wondered why the lug at the seatpost wasn't silver.
I can appreciate the work that went into it, but I wouldn't be willing to pay anywhere near what it's worth.

As beautiful as the frame is, I will agree... lugs do not serve any practical purpose on a Reynolds 953 frame.
If this was in a super high-end, super lightweight 531, it may actually have been worth the money...
Still, I have to say that I have experienced nothing but excellent customer service from Waterford, this goes a long way in the price tag IMO.

Very nice work. I'd set up and ride something like this. Would be a blast. While my personal taste tends towards the very simple, this would do nicely! Notice the hollow tube ends at the dropouts, and the nicely done reinforcing. The extra diddles in the middle of the tubes around the "waterford" decals and the brake bridge seem overdone, but the rest looks just right.

Flames turn me off more than STD's. I'll pass.
