There were 2 red NOS NIB Alenax lever-propelled bikes being offered at the Hershey Car show last fall. If I remember correctly, they wanted $150 each. The fact that it made it into production is quite something. There will always be somebody who will treasure such oddities, but I doubt it will ever have any true monetary value. I almost bought one of the Hershey ones.
