David: I did have passing interest in this bike but probably will not bid on it. To my knowledge, there were never any decals produced by Hetchins that looked like these. This bike seems to have a little history behind it. My feeling is that this cycle is going to go to a collector at a hefty sum. Probably $2500+. Too rich for my Eastern bones. Hetchinspete
