Hi All, Friends of mine have been running the following ad since last fall on the unofficial Hetchins website http://www.flashq.de/hetch03.htm:

Full bike with Campy NR derailleurs, shifters, Campy headset, BB, cranks and hubs. Center pull brakes. Currently 700C wheels on orig 27" wheeled frame.

Contact Paul Williams (USA) cyclepgw@jps.net"

They and I are curious as to why it hasnt sold. Would expect many of you will have seen ad. Would any of you be kind enough to pass on your reactions? Things we're curious about - size relative to only a few? No curly stays? pricing? Whole bike instead of frame alone for project? Not trying to lead any answers here and love
to hear more thoughts.
Thanks
