Judging from the rear DO and the seat lug, this looks equivalent to a Raleigh Grand Prix or a Peugeot UO-8. But like the seller says "the decals are just like Eddy's bike". So I guess the frame is worth $50 and the decals the remaining $760.

Holy mackerel, I thought this auction was crazy when it sat at the $150 mark:

http://ebay.com/<blah>

Am I mistaken in thinking that this is the gaspipe model? I am sorely tempted to contact the second highest bidder and offer my black (definitely gaspipe) model for a somewhat more reasonable price...say $600 or so?
