Hi Roy,

Well I found out (silly me) that I was limiting my search too much category-wise. I was going into the cycling category in sporting goods to look. Turns out that some bikes are listed as collectibles (d'oh!). Live and learn.

Hi John:

Jeez, I don't know, I even went to ebay's home page and typed in rene herse and a front rack, maxicar hubs, and a front bag support along with the 2 bikes were listed. Even capitalized they came up. They're all under the collectable section and not the sporting goods section though.
