Oh, yes, I should mention that this one is from Kansas City Bikes for Tikes. And I'm surprised to hear that the price went up. I'd put a fishing figure of $300 on it largely because of the componentry and the fine club-shaped cutout lug work. The frame was as Sarah has said really rough but only the finish. It appears to be straight otherwise. The fork crown is particularly odd. If the price was raised it was without my consent. What did he raise it to?
The swap crowd was primarily of the Balloon and Krate crowd and there were no serious nibbles----so off to Ebay it goes......
